HNC were delighted to receive funding for a laptop which enables the centre to deliver basic skills IT classes. Volunteers from the community such as Edan Rowland aged 15 works on a one to one basis supporting members of the community who are not conversant with information technology. This basic support enables the beneficiaries to access services online, keep in touch with their family and friends and make life easier for them in current society.

Many of our beneficiaries are elderly and the majority have said that being able to use a computer really enhances their life.

Being able to use young volunteers such as Edan breaks down some of the barriers across generations.

Hart Neighbourhood Centre has been able to help 43 people with their basic IT skills this year with more people joining our waiting list each week.
