Money is not the only problem – 'Online Access'
There are many things which you may need to be able to access online, such as shopping, job applications and benefits help. If you need either equipment, skills or an internet connection to be able to do this, the following section lists places that may be able to help you. Please check with the location before you go along – all of them are intending to provide free IT services but sometimes plans have to change. They will be able to tell you what they have available right now, and when.
