Tech support from AbilityNet

About AbilityNet

For over 20 years AbilityNet has helped ensure the digital world is inclusive for disabled and older people at home. 

We are a nationwide charity with a local presence through our 300 UK-wide volunteers. 

Our volunteers provide 1-1 tech support to disabled and older people in the local community, fixing IT problems, offering advice, setting the equipment up and showing them how to use it. 

Technology is such an enabler, they help the most isolated (even more so currently) stay connected with the outside world for vital contact with family and friends or connecting to necessary online services. 

Organisations who want to find out about the service can either call 0800 269 545 or email [email protected]

Or you can go contact Scottish Care at [email protected] who will pass your request on to AbilityNet.

Individuals who require assistance (Patients/carers) to call 0800 269 545.

The kind of things we can help with are:

  • Keeping in touch with friends and family
  • Help with Social media
  • Tech running slow
  • Looking at accessibility whether its hearing or sight
  • Looking to adapt tech for conditions such as stroke, ms etc
