Get Connected

Digital skills are crucial for older people, they enhance connectivity, access to information, and independence. Mastering technology enables us to stay in touch with family and friends through social media and video calls, reducing feelings of isolation. It also grants access to a wealth of information and services, from online banking and shopping to health and government resources, making daily tasks more manageable.


Additionally, digital literacy can provide opportunities for learning and entertainment, promoting cognitive health and engagement. As the world becomes increasingly digital, having these skills ensures we can all fully participate in and benefit from modern society.

Meet our Connect & Save Officer

Jake Palmer is local to RCT and strongly believes in equality for all, and providing support for those who need it. Since university he has pursued roles that allow him to support others which led him to apply for this role with Age Connects Morgannwg. In his previous role at Caerphilly Council he helped put a long-term plan in place to improve economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being.

 

Another part of his role in Caerphilly was working with service veterans, taking their views on how services could be improved and writing a report for the Regional Armed Forces Liaison Officer. This ultimately led to new services being developed. In his spare time, he likes to keep active by going for walks and hikes, going to museums and concerts. Whilst at home he like to read and learn about local history
