AN ex-service-man was able to reconnect with former comrades thanks to a pioneering scheme.
Colin Smith, 81, from Oakworth, Keighley, was one of the first people to receive support from the Worth Connecting project. He contacted project worker Midge Driver to ask for advice in how to use his computer, particularly to trace friends and colleagues from his old regiment.
After several weekly one-to-one tuition sessions at home, Mr Smith learned how to use social media.
Mr Smith said: “You are never too old to learn. I have now learned how to search for information and send emails from those nice people from Worth Connecting.”
Worth Connecting could take on new clients after its first successes. Call Midge Driver on 01535 612500 or e-mail midge@kivca.org.ukfor further information. about Worth Connecting.
