We offer regular job search sessions if you do not have access to a computer. We are also able to help applicants get online for Universal Credit. |
Computer groups for adultsEvery week we have two groups of adults who all have Prader Willi Syndrome.
We help them to send and receive emails, keep in touch with friends on Facebook or learn a new skill eg, sign language or typing. Word and number games or hidden object puzzle games are an enjoyable way to help improve the players memory and problem solving skills. There is a Train Bluffers group who meet weekly to use the computers. On a Wednesday there is a regular computer club for adults who have mental health issues. |
