Join Stevenage MP, Stephen McPartland in voting for Isabel Bauckham as Digital Hero of the year. The Digital Heroes Awards recognises people who harness digital technology to bring about positive social change in their communities.
Stephen said, “Here in Stevenage we have a great new project led by Isabel Bauckham of Crossroads Care which focuses on getting carers connected. The project provides carers with the skills to use the internet confidently, helping them to alleviate their social isolation and stress and enabling them to be more independent. The training, provided by volunteers, takes place in carers' homes or within workshops.”
Many volunteers have been recruited from local businesses, schools and colleges, and groups working to improve relationships between the generations. Isabel Bauckham said, "Many of the carers we support are elderly, and while they do not have any internet skills they are eager to learn."
