News from our latest workshops and training

This month we hosted a workshop for parents at one of our local children's centres to learn about how to keep their children safe online. The session was well attended and all the parents left feeling more confident than when they first arrived!

We also ran a poster-making workshop for beginner computer users. It was a full house at the Langley Centre, with learners getting to grips with Microsoft Word and inserting pictures from the internet.

Finally, our Basic One-to-One Computer training which was tutored by volunteer UWE Students had its final session on 12th March. After 5 weeks of individual training, all of our learners have increased in confidence across a variety of topics, including: using Skype, PowerPoint and Facebook; sending and printing letters; burning music to CDs and using files and folders.

Quotes from learners:
"I am really pleased I attended and have left feeling more confident to use my newly purchased computer."
"I am really pleased as it gave me a chance to reignite my desire to brighten my horizons."
