Starting Point are providing a drop-in support session at the Practice to help you get online with the NHS App, on Thursday 19 October between 1:30pm – 3:30pm at Marple Cottage Surgery, 50 Church Street, Marple, SK6 6BW

About Starting Point
Starting Point was established to tackle several community-based issues, non-more so than the issue that we saw in our community with people not being able to get online and do the things that many of us take for granted. Tackling this issue, which some call ‘digital inclusion’ became central to the work of Starting Point.
