This project which took place in 2014/15 and involved weekly lessons over a 6 month. A local tutor delivered the classes with support from a volunteer.

Engaging with digital media is integral to everyday life and almost impossible to avoid. The Virtual Access project funded by Awards For All provided many older and disabled people with an opportunity to learn how to use a laptop computer. As a result, many learned basic IT skills that enabled to use a computer, browse the internet and perform a range of functions online.

Up to 15 different people participated in this project who learned how to use a computer to varying degrees. Many stated how practical and useful the sessions were and that they wished they had this opportunity years ago.
