Pupils are inviting Silver Surfers to join them for lessons on how to get the most out of the internet.
Children at Wilson's School are relaunching the Silver Surfers scheme in which they help over 50s learn how to use the internet and other modern gadgets.
Year 10 boys will show the adults how to set up online shopping accounts, make video calls using Skype and more.
The school ran the classes last year and they were so successful Age UK Sutton invited the pupils to their annual meeting last month.
The upcoming classes run from 2.15pm to 3.15pm on Wednesday, February 13, Wednesday, March 6, and Wednesday, March 20.
If you are interested in taking part please contact Juliana Rayman by emailing connectingpeople@ageuksutton.org.uk or by calling 020 8770 4709.
