These events are aimed at tenants over the age of 65 and provide a fun day out, combining entertainment with practical advice, support and giveaways. They also address some of the loneliness and isolation some of this particular group can face.

This Senior Session, aptly named ‘Soup and a scroll’, had an emphasis on digital education in a number of areas, including surfing the web safely, shopping online, paying bills, researching hobbies and interests and using their Home Hub app, which gives tenants 24/7 access to services.

Twenty-five guests were treated to soup, sandwiches and refreshments courtesy of EATS Rosyth Community Hub and The Living Room Café. Local partners Police Scotland and Ability Net were also there to offer advice and support on digital safety.

There were some fantastic freebies and prizes for guests to take away with them. Each tenant went home with a soup bag and a shopping voucher and raffle prizes included a soup maker, tablet and Amazon Echo Dot.

The event organiser, Suzanne Hume, engagement officer at Fife Housing Group, said: “The event was a huge success and it was lovely seeing all of our tenants coming along with their phones and tablets, ready to brush up on their digital skills. It allowed us to chat with people about their tech needs, which will help us tailor the services we offer our tenants. We are really keen to tackle social isolation amongst our older tenants as well and this gave us a great opportunity to combat the loneliness some people suffer, especially at this time of year.”

Due to the success of this event, the organisation plans to offer a similar one in East Fife, giving tenants there the chance to come along and learn how to engage safely and effectively online. Details of this will be made available in the new year.
