Getting Connected!

It's an exciting time to be in Lockleaze at the moment. There is so much happening and so much more to look forward to...

As well as the new Gainsborough Square Development (14 flats, 12 houses, 2 business units and a purpose built community building), a group of local partners have been working with HP and UWE to get volunteers, computer skills and greater access to the internet into Lockleaze.

This will mean: 
  • advice workers using IT & the internet with clients.
  • computer classes on three sites around the area.
  • UWE students and HP staff supporting IT classes
  • group sessions to help fill in forms or apply for jobs online
  • support for families and older people to get online and have fun
...and much more!

Naturally, we are keen to announce this project, which we are calling Connect <> Lockleaze to the world!
For this reason we are planning a launch event at the Cameron Centre - we want to have a chat to about what activities you fancy trying as well as finding out how confident you feel about using computers.
We are looking for ideas and suggestions while we share a nice cup of tea and a piece of cake.
Don’t worry if you have never used a computer before, we have already planned some basic IT and internet courses to get you started.
So…join us on Friday 12th October 2012 from 2pm and be inspired!
