One of the brilliant winners from last year was David Harris, from Willow Court. David won the Digital Dynamo award for supporting a number of residents with activities like online shopping, connecting people with friends and family using WhatsApp and even downloading spellcheckers. The judges said that David had been doing his “utmost to help residents use digital tools”.
