How tech savvy are you? Are you a whizz on a computer, mobile phone or laptop?
If the answer is no, then why not come and meet one of our TechMates?
TechMates are volunteers who are experts in showing you how to make the most of your devices.
You can meet them and get some help at five drop-in sessions, run on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Simply bring along your device, all the help is free.
The five different sessions are available as below:
- 10.30am to 12.30pm on Mondays at Kathy Dolan Centre, 78 White City Close, Shepherds Bush, W12 7DZ

As well as technical skills, advisors will be able to give you advice on how to use your new-found knowledge to get the information and advice you need.
It will include guidance on how to save money, look for jobs, access council and government services and apply for benefits like Universal Credit.
