DLF brings small events/workshops to remote communities to improve digital literacy and social inclusion.

Our Tech Mates bring their tech knowledge for seniors who wouldn’t otherwise be able to get online. We assist with any questions they may have and any issues that may arise.

We get it. Teaching people how to use technology can seem daunting, but you aren’t expected to know everything. In fact, the best skills you can have are the ability to admit that you don’t know everything, and to be able to learn on the go…

You won’t be left to fend for yourself at our events/workshops – every single one will have one or more DLF staff members there to help. You’ll always have a consistent person (or set of people) there to support you.

Now, onto the nitty gritty:

• All of our volunteers receive free training • We give you a run sheet of workshops beforehand • Volunteers are required to have a National Police Check, and • A Covid Vaccination Certificate

So, what does an event or workshop actually entail? Good question! These are definitely not those huge workshops when you’re on your feet all day.

The workshops will be at the Village Café (Kingswood, North St Marys, and Llandilo) or a local library (Penrith and St Marys).

There’s no waiting to see your impact – it’s obvious from the outset. What we do is really an uplifting and amazing experience.

These workshops run for 2-3 hours and if you can’t be there right on time, that’s okay. We understand that sometimes life happens, traffic is bad, and things come up. We don’t expect you to be superhuman.

But we would like you to join us!

Parking: In the Penrith LGA there's free on-street parking at all Village Cafe locations.
