IT Support Volunteers

“A digital world accessible to all”

Award winning IT charity AbilityNet is looking for IT Support volunteers to help people get the most out of technology. We support older and disabled people to use technology, from setting up a new device, to showing how to use zoom or do an internet food shop.

The role would take place in your local area, face to face with clients or help over Teamviewer. You don’t need to be a tech guru to help out. If you use a computer at home or work, and perhaps support family and friends with their tech issues, you are likely to have the skills we are looking for. Relevant guidance and excellent support is provided to all volunteers.


A fantastic opportunity to help and make a real difference for people. All volunteer assistance is greatly appreciated.


For more information please contact Donna Baker-Smith at email community@abilitynet.org.uk or telephone 01926 956850.
