I recognise the increasing importance of organisations like ACE IT that help older people develop skills in response to “digital channels” becoming the norm for both social interaction and customer support. 

Alex Stewart

Technology plays an important role in helping the elderly feel less isolated and more equipped to deal with life, and I hope to use my business management skills to help ACE IT flourish.

Mary-Clare Macfarlane

Being able to use technology to keep in touch with friends and family as well as for accessing all sorts of goods and services is so important for people and it’s good to be part of an organisation which helps to ensure that no-one is left behind.

I have a keen interest in digital skills development and I hope to use my experience to support ACE IT’s mission to advance the knowledge and connectivity of older people.
