Helping isolated older residents get online

Breezie is a tablet device that makes the internet accessible by removing jargon, clutter and confusing set-up processes.

Each of these Samsung tablets is built with personalised home screens, featuring pre-installed apps that are picked according to the interests and needs of each user, like Skype so they can communicate with family and friends.

We have 75 Breezie tablets to give to older members of the community who feel disconnected and could benefit from getting online to help make life easier.

Each device has a 4G sim built in, so runs off the mobile network, therefore users won’t need to have the internet installed at home to use them. And, all users will be shown how to use their devices, so you don't need to be confident using new technology.

If you or somebody you know could benefit, fill out our form so a member of the team can get in touch to discuss eligibility.
