Free help with smartphones, tablets, and laptops is being offered to older people through a new digital skills project.
The Seeds2Success programme supports over-65s in Prudhoe and surrounding areas including Wylam, Ovington, Ovingham, Stocksfield, and Mickley.
Delivered by the Friends of Eastwoods Park, the scheme is funded by the North East Combined Authority through the Mayor's Opportunity Fund, in partnership with Community Foundation North East.
A spokesperson said: "As more everyday services move online, many over 65s can feel excluded through a lack of digital confidence."
The programme offers one-to-one and group sessions led by two digital skills team members, covering everything from using devices to sending emails, shopping online, and staying safe on the internet.
Support is delivered in a "relaxed and welcoming environment, allowing people to learn at their own pace, whatever their starting point."
