We came to realise that there was profound need for help with basic literacy, numeracy & IT skills,  the building blocks that allow people to interact in a world where social media platforms, text messaging and emails are predominant ways of communicating.  So we set up My Helping Hand which runs on a Friday.  Here people can get the help they need with numeracy skills as well as being able to access Learn My Way.

Learn My Way helps people develop their online skills and opens the door to more work opportunities.  It covers a range of topics starting with the basics of using a computer, online safety, finding a job online, Internet and mobile banking as well as how to access GP & NHS and other public services online.

We have received funding to run Learn My Way from The Good Things Foundation and our aim is to get 100 people online this year.  If you know anyone who would benefit from this service please pass on our details and we would be delighted to sign them up.
