Get Online Week 2017 (2 - 8 October) wants to encourage people in the UK who are not making full use of the internet to try one thing online that they would normally do offline. This could be banking or paying a bill online instead of going into a branch or paying by post or over the phone.
Free events will be happening across Northern Ireland through out the week and will see friendly staff and volunteers helping people to take their next steps online.
