We provide free computer systems to people in the Edinburgh and Lothians postcode area who are unable to access publicly available computers because of a disability or long-term health condition. We adapt and customise donated equipment to our clients’ individual needs and interests. We also offer volunteering opportunities, particularly for people with extra support needs.
We believe passionately that the benefits of digital technology should be accessible to all members of society.
Donated computer hardware and software can be adapted to suit the individual skills and needs of people with a wide range of physical and learning disabilities.
These bespoke systems may enable them to:
- Communicate more effectively with those around them
- Write personal letters independently
- Develop their literacy / numeracy
- Play games
- Access the internet and e-mail –
- Become involved in voluntary work
- Gain access to education or the workplace
