Doncaster IT expert offers to help people get set up on video calls so they can stay connected

Bobby Greasley, 37, from Tickhill is a retail manager for the company BT, and is offering his support to people who may be struggling to use technology to keep connected to one another.

This follows the new set of measures from the Government to limit the spread of the coronavirus which include staying home whenever possible.

Bobby, of Tickhill, said: “I can help with anything technological, I’m proficient with IT issues and telephones.

“I’m a bit of an expert at working from home.

“I know how important it is to stay connected - I don’t live close to my family and so I use technology to speak with them.”

Bobby is offering to help people in Tickhill village and anyone in the South of Doncaster via telephone calls and skype.

He can show people how to set up calling software such as Zoom, Facetime and WebEx.

“A lot of people have never had to work from home before and they just need a helping hand on how to do it,” Bobby continued.

“The people I have helped so far have been very grateful.”

Following Boris Johnson’s announcement on March 23, people will be spending a lot more time inside and following social distancing guidelines.

They include working from home if possible, going outside only to exercise once a day in the form of walking, running or cycling, to get medical aid or to buy essentials such as food.

Bobby said: “I’m concerned about people who are self-isolating and don’t have a way to connect with the outside world and their family.

“I feel as if it’s my responsibility to help because I have the skills and the knowledge to do so.

“There are many members of my team who I know are also prepared to do the same.”
