Over the last few days we’ve been talking a lot about video calls and using technology to speak to friends and family, but what if you don’t have the right apps or programs installed? Well, you can still get video calls. Here’s how!

This is really important now folks so please do stay home if you can!

Hello wonderful people! Hope we are all doing well and keeping safe. We haven‚Äôt tried the ‚Äú Houseparty‚ÄĚ app yet but it looks like it could be a fun way to keep in touch and play games at the same time! ūüĎćūüėÄ

Hi folk . This is a great little video that explains about ‚Äúsocial Distancing‚ÄĚ what it is, and why we need to do it. Please do watch it , it‚Äôs very short. ūüėÄūüĎć PS we don‚Äôt like the term ‚Äú social distancing ‚Äú we prefer ‚Äú physical distancing‚ÄĚ with technology we can still keep those social connections going .....that is after all, what we do!

We are now helping folk to use technology to stay in touch with each other via ‚ÄúThe Great Chat and Brew‚ÄĚ ‚ėēÔłŹūüćį
The Great Chat and Brew is a new initiative between Paradigm , Learning Disability England and Your IT Now to help vulnerable people keep in touch at these tricky times . Using a clever template it helps support workers and helpers connect up to 3 other people digitally via “WhatsApp “ to chat, drink tea and whatever else they want to do! It helps maintain these conne...ctions and talk about the things that matter. Read all about it
If you’d like to help folk connect check it out here and get involved!!!
