A huge thank you to @ClubHarehills for hosting the LOPF staff for last week's bowls session!

Laura and the team made us feel very welcome and were dedicated teachers for those of us who hadn’t tried the sport before. It was a great morning out!😄👏

Our next 'Older People's Hub' is on 4 November. We're talking about ‘Staying Independent In Your Own Home’ and have speakers from Housing Leeds, Adult Social Care, Care and Repair Leeds and a local care home provider.

Light lunch is provided and we can help with transport costs.

Our Digital Inclusion Coordinator, Sam Haggart, is often out and about with our partners, teaching older people how to increase their digital skills and confidence in using and navigating the online world. Read her blog here: https://t.co/fWGTPDmr5g

Our partners do some amazing work to help people get online. We asked @HamaraCentre what they are currently doing to bridge the digital divide.
