Older people challenging isolation and exclusion
Transport can be arranged on request
By the way – this event is not organised by 50+ Digital 🙂
Sam (multi-talented community outreach worker at Mildmay Community Centre) chats with Hardeep about her work and life. We also learn about gardening and community cooking at the centre.
Recorded 19 December 2022 in the Live Room at Mildmay Community Centre, London N16
You don’t need any technical skills to do this — just the ability to tell a story about your life or ask someone else to tell you a story.
Initially, we will take care of the tech side, but you can learn that as well if you really want to. There are many ways to make your own podcast show, even if all you have is a smartphone.
If you are interested, come over to the regular podcast learning session …

Back to: What else is on for older people?
NB (15 March): winter has officially finished, so has the funding for this winter project.
This is a perfect fit to our Wednesday afternoon Digital Drop-in, 1 to 4 pm.
The food is served in the café area, next to the kitchen (not in the Main Hall).
Our suggestion – get there early at 12:30 – replenish your vitamins and build up your stamina for the drop-in starting at 1 pm.
The free food is organised by Mildmay Community Centre, not by Fifty-Plus Digital.
Hardeep talks to Winston the Geezer about his life with dance and music. Winston is the Monday afternoon dance instructor at Mildmay Community Centre (to join the group, just be there at 1 pm).
Recorded 7 November 2022 in the Live Room at Mildmay Community Centre, London N16.

From 2006 until overwhelmed by illness, Derek was the mobile tech guru for older people.
Derek passed away Tuesday 19 July 2022.
Nobody has made a greater contribution to real social and digital inclusion in this area.

Note (16 August 2022) from John …
A very quiet man, always ready to help with us with our phones and laptop problems.
I certainly benefited along with a great many others with his help.
Considering the bewildering problems we came up against with our gadgets, it never seemed to faze Derek, and we invariably walked away content with his solutions.
Thank you Derek for being there.
Well remembered.

We are contantly looking for new initiatives to support — free, predictable, open and accessible to older people — on transport routes that pass close to neighbourhoods in Hackney, Islington, and adjacent boroughs.
