Northumberland village community centre nets £2,000 to support 'silver surfers' with IT lessons

A Northumberland community centre has used a charitable grant to buy Chromebooks to offer help to "silver surfers" who can benefit from basic computer training.

The Warkworth War Memorial Hall has been given £2,000 by the Morrisons Foundation - the charity associated with the supermarket chain - in order to boost access to IT kit and help people in need learn how to navigate the web to carry out essential tasks.

The idea is to predominantly offer support to older people within the community - who may have limited access to the internet and IT equipment. However, the IT training will be offered to the whole community.
