Dave first joined Age Concern Canterbury as a volunteer visitor, driven by his awareness of the profound impact loneliness and isolation can have on older members of our community. Through his time in this role, he built meaningful connections and offered companionship to those who needed it most.
Recognising an additional and growing need, Dave generously extended his contribution by offering his skills as a technology tutor and troubleshooter. He supports clients who struggle to navigate modern devices and digital communication, helping them build confidence and independence in an increasingly digital world.
Dave is deeply committed to the belief that everyone deserves to feel connected. He is passionate about ensuring older people have the ability to access and use modern communication tools effectively, enabling them to stay in touch with family, friends, and essential services.
He has a natural gift for demystifying technology, transforming something that many clients find intimidating and frustrating into something manageable and even enjoyable.
Through both his compassion and practical support, Dave has made a lasting and meaningful difference in the lives of many.
