AS well as the regular activities on offer at the Ocean Grove & District Men\u2019s Shed, such as working on nesting boxes for various types of birds and native wildlife, the shed is also a Be Connected Network Partner.
\nBe Connected is a free Australian Government initiative helping, in their case, seniors over the age of 55 get the most out of going online so they can add new skills and experiences to their lives.
\nOn Wednesday August 21, the men\u2019s shed will be running a program at the shed on Being Safe Online, and on Wednesday August 28 they will be running another about using online resources to develop your family tree.
\nBookings are essential on 5255 2548.
\nSeniors can sign up to the Be Connected Program online at beconnected.esafety.gov.au and if they make Ocean Grove & District their network partner they can get free help from the Men\u2019s Shed.
\nThe program is available to both men and women.
\nMake appointments for either the first or third Wednesday of each month to receive free assistance from the shed.
\nBe Connected can help you learn the basics of getting online; be safe whilst you are online; talk to or see family and friends more often; keep up-to-date with what\u2019s happening in your community and around the world; build your confidence in using digital technology and learn how to shop online, safely and securely.
