Third Age Entrepreneurs Win NESTA’s Age Unlimited Challenge
Third Age Fun and Games will enable older people to: Learn computer games while at the same time having fun. This will lessen any sense of isolation while extending their knowledge of computing at home or in a group; and encourage families to pass on their “old” computer to an elderly relative so that they may also learn the advantages of being online.
The club have two venues near Edinburgh in Leith and Fountainbridge. You can find out more about the developing pilot project at their website:
