Joe Woollin of Otley Action for Older People has contacted us to offer technical and digital support.

He spends a lot of his time in appointments or at home visits to help elderly members with specific tech issues or regular sessions to support learning. If you live within OAOP's geographical remit of Otley, Pool and Arthington and would like support please contact Otley Action for Older People, Otley Old People's Welfare Centre, Crossgate, Otley, LS21 3AA. 01943 463965.
