We want to provide basic digital skills training to older people with dementia who attend the Beacon Club over a 12-month period. To do this work we would like to work with Cre8te Opportunities and utilise a trainer through them on a sessional basis, as well as purchase some iPads and our application is for funding to support this. This IT training and support will be delivered by the trainer and volunteers and will also involve the development of digital champions from within the beneficiaries and their carers. The digital champions will keep the programme going beyond the life of the funded project and will support individuals to get online, access the internet, email and other basic digital skills like shopping, banking and accessing public services including health and wellbeing. The specific outcomes would be to recruit a trainer, to establish a network of digital champions across South West Edinburgh and to provide free training and one-to-one support for 30 older people over 12 months, with the specific objectives of the programme being to provide a combination of skills, confidence and ongoing support. The benefits will be: -Address inequalities caused by move to online - health care, social care and wellbeing advances being missed by those who need them most -Access to online GP services -Access to information on health information, local wellbeing activities and clubs will improve wellbeing and have a positive effect on mental health -Access to internet support forums and reliable advice sources, thereby reducing strain on health service provision -Reduce social isolation by visits/contact with trainer and digital champions - mostly face-to-face, one-to-one, but also group where appropriate -Leave a legacy through Digital Champions to provide ongoing support - formal and informal -Support carers who are often acting as proxies through training and support -Based on individual/personal needs and interests -Make it fun -Leave individuals better equipped to deal with modern world -Support delivered at local level in familiar surroundings There is a call for growth of telecare, telehealth and online resources, but these are no help to those not able to use the technology. Our training will give users skills to be able to use and access technology by giving them confidence and practical training. With GP services moving online for prescriptions and appointments, self-management of conditions, access to test results etc we will support the older people and their carers to access these services

We would like to redesign our website actively involving our young and adult carers – this involve carers helping to design a web brief and specification, working closely with a web designer to explore different options, beta test a new website, launch our new website and promote it to local young and adult carers. Purchase two Ipads: one would be used with the young carers service to help track and capture the benefits of the Young Carers services, to implement Young Carers Statements and will be used to produce evidence for activities such as Saltire Awards. One would be used for similar benefits for adult carers, helping them complete Adult Carers Support Plans. In order to meet the demands of the Scottish Government's Carers CENSUS we want to create an effective carers data base. Currently we use a simple excel spreadsheet which we have found is not fit for purpose in terms of capturing and reporting complex information. 17/7 - applicant confirmed a consultant would develop an excel database We would also like to purchase a dedicated laptop for our carers services that will help us improve the services we off adult and young carers.

Vintage Vibes is a partnership between The Broomhouse Centre and LifeCare Edinburgh. Working across several disadvantaged areas of the city, the new Community Adventurers programme will match around 75 VIPs (lonely older people) aged 65+ with a local volunteer to take part in, or lead, community-based volunteering or social action. As a result of the shared interest, true friendships are created, the VIPs will be more engaged in their local community, more confident and less lonely. The project will also help to highlight and address current gaps in suitable volunteering opportunities for older people. The grant will pay for staffing, project costs and a contribution to overheads.
