Happy New Year 2026

Happy New Year and may 2026 be a fabulous fun year for all of you. 

Last year we think we made a good start helping our carefully chosen seniors to learn more about the ever increasing digital world. You learnt a lot, forgot a lot too, but overall you made progress. Very important for us, Ingrid and I learnt a lot and remembered it long enough to share it with you. 

We also learnt that if we are to continue to help you and other seniors to develop tech skills, we need to do the following:-

• Keep you informed on what is taking place in the tech world, BUT only as it affects seniors and to keep everything super simple and easy to understand.

• We need to offer you hints and tips that we think will help you to improve your skills.

• We know you struggle to learn and implement new skills alone, so we need to provide you with access to small Pop-in-Clinics, or One-to-One coaching to help you to make changes.

• We also need to ensure you have reminder notes on your iPhone that you can consult later.

• Once a quarter, we plan to run a themed workshop covering a specific area. For example focus on Travel and cover off all the apps that will help you to plan and enjoy great holidays.

Themes that we could cover in future workshops

We will use the Archfield Academy WhatsApp group to share the links to the blog and any recordings that we will create during 2026. We will also let you know of events that we will set up in the coming months. 

What we need you to do.

• Let us know of anything that you would like us to cover, this will really be helpful. e.g. how to use Apple Wallet

• If you would like additional people added to the group please just let us know. 

• If you are not interested, then please just remove yourself from the group.
