Carers On Line Community - Carers Online in Pembrokeshire (COP)

Carers Online in Pembrokeshire provides a support mechanism for carers. An online community is a private area on the internet, only accessible to invited members, who can meet in a 'virtual' safe environment.

Members can log in to the community, or COP ( Carers Online in Pembrokeshire) at times to suit themselves - whether daytime or the middle of the night.

It is a place where discussions can take place, messages and notices can be left for others, photos of group activities can be posted along with a calendar of upcoming events. There is also the opportunity to chat in real time to others online or to arrange virtual meetings at times to suit members.

The only things you need in order to join an online community are an email address and access to a computer that has an internet connection. There are many places where you can access the internet if you don't have a computer at home, such as libraries, community centres and the Voluntary Sector Resource Centre where the PAVS offices are based.

If you don't have an email address and are not sure what one is or how to get one, PAVS 123-communicate team can provide ad hoc group or individual workshops. In the workshop you will learn how to set up an email account and how to send and receive an email. Support is also available to show new members how to log in to the community.
