The start of a year is a great time for looking at your new smart gadget and thinking, “I wish I knew how to work that”.

It’s also good for new resolutions. Such as to figure out that thing you’ve never been able to do on your phone, tablet or computer.

Which makes it a great time to come to Keep up! Our small but trusted band of volunteers are gearing up to welcome anyone with a question they’d like answering or a skill they’d like to acquire.

Our weekly sessions start on 24 January and run through to 21 March. It’s free, everyone is welcome and there are tea and biscuits. We start at 6.30 pm and finish 8.00 pm. Sessions are at Christchurch, 105a Clarendon Park Rd, Leicester LE2 3AH

Summer Saturday, our fun fundraising event, is coming soon— Saturday 12 August. A great chance to meet friends, acquire high-quality bric-a-brac, artworks, plants and herbs for house or garden, secondhand books and all kinds of other treasures.

The lunches last year were spectacularly good. Worth dropping in just for them. And there’s a chance we’ll have music too.

This is our main fundraiser of the year, and we rely on it to keep our projects running. If you can make it, we’d love to see you.

It’s at Christchurch, Clarendon Park Road, from 10 am to 2 pm. Feel free to download and pass on the leaflet below.

Just a mini-series of Keep up! sessions this summer, as it’s a short term for our student volunteers.

So come when you can in our free, friendly four-week series. If you, or anyone you know, want to learn a bit more about your smartphone, tablet, laptop or other device…check the dates below and come along. You’ll be very welcome.
