The Seniors Committee of The Hills and Districts Chamber of Commerce Inc and the Older Women’s Network (Qld) (OWNQ) Mitchelton Branch have combined to create a joint venture to address the needs of older people, including dealing with isolation and the use of technical knowledge for all seniors.
The objectives of this joint venture include:
- Giving Seniors a voice
- Visibility in the community
- Personal empowerment in the use of technology
- Reduce the feelings of isolation that many seniors experience
- Strengthen seniors confidence and ability to engage
To achieve these ends, the Joint Venture will:
- Facilitate in live events
- Introduce seniors to the Be Connected website and tools
- To safely connect with others using technology
- Engage with other like minded organisations
- Develop a team of technology support people to assist seniors with basic technology devices, including phones, laptops, computers and tablets/pads etc
To formally launch our joint venture, we will be holding a Lunch Event at the Arana Leagues Club on Thursday 21st October 12pm to 2pm. Just go to the website to book.
