Every day, most of us use a device, whether it’s a mobile phone, laptop, tablet, or other digital equipment that has become part of daily life. It helps us stay connected, manage our health, find information, and keep up with family and friends.
But what happens when you can’t use these devices confidently? During Covid, we all saw how quickly the world moved online, with NHS apps, QR codes in restaurants, online food deliveries, and video calls becoming the norm. Yet not everyone found this transition easy.
Supporting Your First Digital Steps
At Murray Hall, we believe everyone deserves access to these digital resources. Nobody should have to struggle alone to use their device, and we are here to support you in taking those first steps, no matter your age or previous experience.
Sometimes, all it takes is a little guidance. Whether you would like to learn how to use your laptop, finally download and understand the NHS app, or discover what a QR code is and how to scan one confidently, our team of patient, friendly tutors are ready to help. We don’t just answer your questions, we help open up the digital world so you can feel confident and connected.
