A free, friendly workshop helping older adults feel safer and more confident online. Together we explore scam messages, fake news stories, suspicious links, and simple ways to recognise what can and cannot be trusted.
Delivered by experienced community facilitators who understand the challenges many people face online today. Sessions are led in a friendly, supportive environment that encourages questions, conversation, and shared learning.
Why it matters
Online scams and misinformation are becoming harder to spot.
Many older adults are expected to navigate online spaces without support or guidance. This workshop helps people slow down, ask the right questions, and feel more confident using the internet safely.
Participants learn how to:
- Recognise common misinformation tactics.
- Spot scam emails, texts, and suspicious links.
- Pause before sharing emotional content online.
- Check whether a source is trustworthy.
- Feel more confident using the internet safely.
