Knowledge Management and Information Officer at AGE UK West Cumbria, Mr. James Jackson stated that there are various methods by which people can save money using the Internet and the charity can be of help to the people by teaching them how they can do this confidently and securely. He said that after their first round of classes that turned out to be extremely effective, they are planning to conduct the course once again and the subjects that would be discussed would be things like financial advice, Internet security and online banking, how people can purchase used items online, how they can compare prices and also how they can change utility providers.
The classes that are being held in Cockermouth would commence on the 21st of June at Kirkgate Centre and the duration of the course would be from 1 pm to 3 pm.
