Free computer classes for over 50s
Thanks to support from the Big Lottery Fund, we're now offering a one-year programme of basic computer classes. Designed specifically for people aged 50 or more, they are ideal for budding 'silver surfers' who are keen to build confidence and knowledge of technology and the Internet.The courses will include:
- a very basic induction class for those with no previous computer experience
- a basic introduction to computers for beginners
- a basic introduction to digital photography.
