Be On Line.....
Do you know
anyone who uses the Internet e.g. friends, families or neighbours, that might
be willing to share their knowledge with others?
We’re looking
for volunteers who’d be prepared to give one or two hours a week of their time
for a few months, or even just a few weeks, to help support our Be Online!
project...
Only a basic
knowledge of the internet is required so if you know of anyone who might be
looking for work experience, is recently retired etc let them know of this
opportunity – even some of our existing volunteers might fancy helping out.
And….. there’s
free entry into a prize draw where they’ll have the opportunity to win a
tablet!
