Digital Champion Andy Taylor who recently helped reconnect a woman with her family via Zoom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our brilliant volunteer Digital Champions are helping to make a huge difference to people\u2019s lives. One champion, Andy Taylor, recently helped reconnect a woman with her family via Zoom. And this was the feedback we received from the lady\u2019s NHS Link Worker, Vicky Russell:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a patient with mental health issues who has been really struggling with not being able to see her family.\u00a0 Through the local Lion\u2019s Club we managed to get funding for a Fire Tablet and support towards internet access for her.\u00a0 She has used the tablet to gain access to emails etc. but we could not upload Zoom.<\/p>\n

\u201cI phoned the Digital Hotline and a wonderful man (Andy Taylor) called me back.\u00a0 We tried to upload things to the tablet over the telephone, but with no success. Andy lives locally and said that he was happy for me to deliver the tablet to him and he would see what he could do.\u00a0 I did and he managed to not only upload Zoom but also typed out instructions on how to use it!\u00a0We are so grateful \u2013 this will make a huge difference to this patient\u2019s mental wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n

A huge thank you to Andy and all our Digital Champions for the fantastic work you do. If you know anyone who needs help with a device, getting online or any IT issue, get them to call our Digital Hotline on 01305 221048.<\/p>\n
