📸✨ Celebrating Digital Achievement at Sonali 📸✨ Celebrating Digital Achievement at Sonali Gardens!

We recently marked a proud moment at the Sonali Gardens Day Centre in Shadwell, run by St. Hilda’s East, as older learners were awarded certificates for completing an 8-week Digital Skills Course hosted by LinkAge Plus.

This course gave older residents, many from the local Bangladeshi community, the chance to build essential digital skills, from sending emails and browsing safely to accessing online services and staying connected in an increasingly digital world.

The course was a powerful collaboration:
✅ LinkAge Plus led and coordinated the programme
✅ Tower Hamlets Council and ELBA provided laptops
✅ Poplar HARCA offered skilled tutors and volunteers
✅ Jangala supplied portable internet boxes to support home learning

The Certificate Award Day was full of smiles, pride, and connection. A reminder of what’s possible when organisations come together with a shared mission; to empower, include, and uplift.

A LinkAge Plus representative commented: “This course has made a real difference. It’s opened doors for older residents, helping them stay confident and connected.”

👏 Congratulations to all our learners — your commitment is inspiring!
