Young Agents show silver surfers the way
Between 24 May 2008 and 24 May 2008, in Coventry
Two 19-year-olds from Coventry shared their techie know-how with older people at a Silver Surfers event in the area.
Irfaan Hussain and Mohammed Adnan showed older people about browsers, emails and the wonders of online shopping. Some already had access to computers but didn't feel they could use them. The session helped them realise the benefits and how to get started.
Irfaan said of his volunteering: 'I got to help a person use a computer and it feels like I have made a change in someone's life. Thank you for this opportunity.'

A delight for the senses
Between 30 April 2008 and 30 April 2008, in Kent
Young volunteers helped to clear a garden for elderly patients in a care centre in Tenterden.
Twenty young people from Homewood School turned up in May to show off their green-fingered skills at Tenterden's West View care centre.
Gordon Shepherd of Shaw Healthcare which runs the home said: 'This garden is really important for people with dementia, who can often spend a lot of time indoors. Being outside keeps their senses active and gives them some freedom.'
