Object:
2. The purposes of the Association shall be the advancement of education in the field of technology and the advancement of citizenship and community development for the benefit of adults in the City of Aberdeen and in the North-East of Scotland who struggle to understand and access technology. In furtherance of this the Association will aim: a) To provide opportunities for adults to try out technologies by making facilities available which are user-friendly b) To ensure that adults have access to learning opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills. c) To ensure that they do not become isolated through lack of knowledge and understanding of technology. d) To work in partnership with other organisations to achieve these purposes.
Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We provide opportunities for adults, marginalised by their inability to access technology, to enhance their knowledge and skills; they become more confident in the use of a range of digital devices. We do this in an informal and friendly social setting. The social aspect of our work is of equal importance to the learning. Our sessions are free and informal but educative and are run by highly motivated and caring volunteers; they are offered on a 1-2-1 basis at the learners own pace. Our service has transformed the lives of hundreds of digitally excluded adults in Aberdeen by breaking down barriers to technology use. Learners gain practical skills in areas such as online communication, accessing services, shopping safely, and using digital tools for health and wellbeing. This increased confidence not only helps them manage day-to-day life but also reduces social isolation, promotes independence, and improves mental wellbeing.

*OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees and its principal office address as part of the charity’s Scottish Charity Register entry. They are also required to publish the annual report and accounts for each charity, including the names of some individuals. The only exceptions to this are where a charity or one of its trustees applies for this information to be excluded from the Register entry and where OSCR is satisfied that if it were published then the safety or security of a person or premises would be jeopardised.
Copyright

The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
