Get Online Wythenshawe
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group is helping residents enjoy the benefits of the internet by providing a new computer recycling service, affordable computer equipment and computer skills courses.
‘Get Online Wythenshawe’ is a project designed to increase digital inclusion amongst groups and individuals across Wythenshawe, as there are many people in the area without access to any IT facilities and this is having an adverse effect on them accessing online services such as Welfare Benefits, the Housing Register, employment opportunities and many more everyday services.
Services being offered online will only increase over time and as a responsible landlord Wythenshawe Community Housing Group need to ensure all our tenants are “digitally included” so Wythenshawe is not left behind!
Over the next six months, residents will be able to access skills courses on how to use IT facilities at venues across the area.
