We are looking for volunteers to work with people we support with a learning disability to access technology training sessions at the Manchester Arndale Apple store. If you can spare a couple of hours over the next few weeks, we’d love to have you on board to help us.

You don’t have to have experience in any or all of the sessions we run, just willing to keep an open mind and a friendly attitude. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds.
