Keeping Busy

Below you will find a list of technology that we found useful when supporting people to keep busy.

Our friends at Alzheimer Scotland have developed an extensive catalogue of technology with reviews from carers and their loved ones. The platform can be used by anyone, not just those living with dementia. You can check it out here: Adam (meetadam.co.uk)

If you are wanting more support with setting up and using tech, AbilityNet is a charity providing tech support across the UK. The service is made up of volunteers who can support you with tech over the phone or in your home. You can check them out here: A digital world accessible to all. | AbilityNet
