We are very happy to announce that Connect Lockleaze has been nominated for a 'Voscur'! We have been nominated for the Best Idea into Action Award, as part of Voscur’s Bristol Voluntary and Community Sector awards. This is an award ‘for the voluntary or community project that has had a great idea and put it into practice.’
In an increasingly digital age we aim to help those who may not have a computer or internet access at home, or simply need a bit of help understanding it all. Thanks to donations from HP, we have been able to provide local people with free access to computers, laptops, printers and Wi-Fi. We have 3 Community Learning Hubs in Lockleaze around Gainsborough Square where, thanks to volunteers, people can get one to one help with computers and the internet and access a range of courses or one-off taster sessions.
Our drop-in sessions have just restarted on a Friday afternoon, where the public can use the computers at their leisure, with friendly volunteers on hand to give any help should it be needed.
From people who want to become more IT proficient in order to enhance their employment prospects, to those who simply want to be able to use Skype, emails or social media to keep in contact with family and friends, we aim to help everyone that wants to improve their IT skills.
We also host other exciting activities and courses for members of the community, such as cookery, DIY, money saving workshops, digital photography and first aid.
If you’d like to show your support for Connect Lockleaze and the work we do, we would love it if you could take the time to vote for us. Voting closes on the 1st of November at 5pm.
