Older people attending 'getting started' programme with Microsoft staff

Age Action's initiative gives free, one-on-one digital literacy training, helping older people confidently use the internet or their smart devices. Conducted at our partnering company's offices, this five-week course relies on dedicated company employees acting as volunteer tutors. If your organisation is eager to contribute and host a 'Getting Started' course, we're just an email away at csr@ageaction.ie. Your involvement can make a big difference!

Consider organising a team-building social event for Age Action as a fulfilling way to meet your Corporate Social Responsibility targets and staff volunteering commitments. We'll supply all the promotional essentials such as posters, collection boxes, and sponsorship cards. Your event can be anything from:

  • A sponsored walk or run 
  • An enjoyable coffee morning
  • An exciting quiz
  • A thrilling race night
  • A casual friday
  • An event of your choosing

You can even participate in one of Age Action's many engaging fundraising events. This unique approach not only promotes camaraderie among your staff but also contributes significantly to Age Action's mission. Contact our team on fundraising@ageaction.ie to get more inspiration for your corporate social event and make a difference in the lives of older people in our community. Encourage team building, fulfil CSR goals, and champion Age Action - all in one go!
