The EverybodyOnline Project is designed to help communities and individuals in disadvantaged areas across the UK engage with digital technology.
Everybody Online is unique in its approach, rather than simply bringing the technology and walking away, the project officer works with the community to remove issues that prevent access. For example, setting up partnerships to provide childcare at computer taster sessions so parents don’t miss out, or ensuring current community equipment is made available at the times that suits the residents as opposed to the venue. EverybodyOnline is about giving the community what it needs.
This approach helps overcome the barriers to engagement to technology and, in the long term, ensures that growth and development continues for communities in areas of deprivation.

TABS Training is an adult (19 plus) training organization providing Learndirect on-line courses.
Most courses are completely free (Government funded) and in many cases, take just a few hours to complete. Courses are broken down into bite-sized chunks to be undertaken at the learner’s own pace and at times to suit a busy lifestyle.
Courses take place either at the modern Training Centre in Andover or at the learner’s own home. Either way, training is supervised by qualified tutors, who assist at every stage of the course.
Achieving new skills gives renewed confidence and better job prospects for those striving to improve their way of life. Learndirect courses offer a flexible means of both brushing-up existing skills and achieving nationally recognised qualifications.
Free skills assessment and course advice are given at the outset to identify courses best suited to the individual.
