Lively offers free remote support to seniors for up to 8 weeks, helping them to reconnect as we emerge from COVID-19.
We match older people with a young Helper who connects over the phone or video call for a friendly chat, helping them work through any challenges they may experience with technology.
Thanks to the generosity of VicHealth, we’re able to support seniors at no charge until the end of April 2021.
Our Helpers can help with:
Friendly chats and conversation
Connecting with friends/family over video calls
Accessing or sending emails
Texting/sending SMS on your phone
Reading ebooks on your device
Listening to music/radio/podcasts
Watching movies or TV on your device
Connecting to Wifi and surfing the internet
Taking photos
Organising files on your computer
Using a Word processor, e.g. Microsoft Word
