April 2025 Mini Speaker
Madeline Ball
Madeline Ball, North Auckland Service Lead, Digital Seniors
Digital Seniors mission is to bring communities together to help seniors use technology for their well-being and empowerment through coaching and a supportive network. Most services, communications, and entertainment are online. However, many seniors cannot participate in these and are becoming more socially excluded. We find out that technology helps with many common issues for seniors, including loneliness, lack of mobility, and deteriorating health. Many seniors are enjoying the social connections, fun, and conveniences technology brings. We are here to help our seniors to be digitally included and enjoy the benefit of technology!
Interest Groups
