Tynemouth MP Alan Campbell today joined local volunteer Dot Owston who was receiving a Digital Hero award in Parliament.

Dot Owston topped a public vote for her work on the Digi Drop-in Club at St Paul’s Community Centre, which is a weekly volunteer-led club that supports the local community to get online, improve confidence with computers and devices, and understand the everyday benefits of the internet.

Alan said “Dot has served our local community in many ways for a numbers of years and I am delighted that Dot has been recognised for her work in the community.”
