Free Computers

Free computers are on offer to community and voluntary organisations in the Stratford-on-Avon district

The recycled desktop computers are being given away for free by Warwickshire County Council through their ‘Community Computers’ scheme, which has been running successfully across the county for a number of years.

Previous organisations to benefit have included Brownie groups, Community Associations, village halls and Town and Parish Councils.

An organisation can apply for up to two computers, with around 25 computers being made available to community and voluntary groups across Stratford-on-Avon district.

Each computer package includes a Dell desktop computer and a package of licence free programmes, including Open Office 2.0.

Organisations eligible to apply for the fund include locally based community or voluntary groups, including Town and Parish Councils, and small scale groups who have little or no IT equipment and can show how it will be used to grow their organisation.

The deadline for applications is Fast Approaching [Friday 16th September].

Application forms are available from the Warwickshire County Council website (www.warwickshire.gov.uk) or from Ali Mainey at the Stratford-on-Avon Area Office on 01789 260134
