Our IT suite was in dire need of upgrading and we were very fortunate to receive a grant for refurbishment from not only the Karten Trust but other trusts as well which enhanced the grant we received.
Since our refurbishment we have been able to not only upgrade the PCs in our Centre but also the accessories, laptops and software. During the recent Covid period this was a lifeline for us and the people we serve. We were able to re-open and continue to stay open throughout the lockdowns in 2021 due to the better technology we had in place.
In the words of our students
The New IT suite is great recreation for the students and works well as a fully equipped break-out space.
Using the PC’s for charity work
