RUNCORN tenants are being encouraged to learn how to use internet.
Social landlord Riverside is trying to help people to get online.
A new community engagement officer has been appointed.
Laura Woodward is replacing Lorna Cotterill, who is on maternity leave, to continue the focus on providing digital skills for tenants.
She is visiting four hubs across Runcorn, working alongside Riverside’s digital apprentice to provide free online access and support.
Laura, aged 28, from Aintree, said: “I’ve been working for Riverside in the Runcorn area for the last three years on environmental projects, including Keep Britain Tidy awards, so I’m used to the area and have got to know lots of people.
“It’s great to now have a focus on helping people get online, working with volunteers who are already digitally savvy.”
Riverside is recruiting digital volunteers in its neighbourhoods to share skills with those who are new to the internet.
Anyone interested in helping at a digital hub call Laura on 0345 111 0000.
