Get Online Newcastle is a Newcastle City Council service supporting anyone 18+ living in Newcastle. The service is committed to helping people get online and equipping them with valuable digital skills.
There are a number of courses available to help people who need some support with navigating being online, which is ever more important now in 2024. Please see below the list of courses they have:
Everything Email, from 24th July to 18th December 2024
- 1 x 2.30 hour session
- Venue: City Library
- Day & Times: Wednesday, 10.00 – 12.30pm
Come along to this session where you can get set up with an email if you don’t have one already.
