Hello my name is Julie-Anne Burrows. I am the part-time Project Officer for the Get
IT Together - Bristol project. We are funded by BT and managed by Citizens Online. Our
funding from BT enables us to provide free community based learning for people over 55
and people with disabilities to help them access the internet and get online. We base
our courses in community venues so that they are accessible and known to the learners,
such as libraries. We also work with Age UK. We run five week course, 2 hours a week. We
cover basics like using the mouse and keyboard, moving onto using the internet and being safe,
and emailing. We have time on the last week to practice. We can run groups anywhere between
five and ten people and we have a great team of volunteers who help us deliver these courses.
We have excellent feedback, most of the people who come onto our course have a very good
time and find it a very social thing as well as a learning opportunity. As I said, the
courses are free, we run them at eleven venues across Bristol so if you are interested, please
give us a call. Thank you.
