DROP-IN COMPUTER HELP FOR WAIKANAE RESIDENTS

Sue from Waikanae

Good morning! At Citizens Advice Bureau we see so many Waikanae residents struggling with technology but also with transport to get to computer classes outside Waikanae, and so we are collaborating with Simon and Martine at KCDC Libraries and with the lovely volunteers at SeniorNet and the Cameo Pop-in Centre to run some computer classes in Waikanae - this coming Monday and the next to start with -

We are so excited! Please could you let people who are struggling with technology know about these drop-in sessions at the Cameo for the next couple of weeks?

If they are struggling with their computer or iPad or mobile phone Paraparaumu Library staff are coming to the Cameo Pop-in Centre on Monday 4th and Monday 11th April between 1030am and 1230pm to help so bring in your own devices or learn a bit about computers on the ones at the Cameo rooms - emails, facebook - just about anything you can think of.

These are drop-in sessions so come into Mahara Place, Waikanae (next door to the Professionals) and let us help you - ring Sue on 0275 999 823 if you want to know more.

Please pass the word around - we are aiming at residents who won't be using social media so we'll advertise on the radio and "what's on" as well, but word-of-mouth is the best of all -

Thank you so much 😊😊😊

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
