Today our Access Digital Tameside Project Lead, Sam Hardy, attended the @IngeusUK Jobs & Skills Fair, in Hyde. These in-person events are a great way to reach people who, as job seekers, need to be digitally confident.

Our summer newsletter is out now. Take a look at what we've been up to over the last quarter. pcrefurb.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

'Core' funding can be very hard to secure so we would like to offer our gratitude to @Foundation_DBS and their donors for the grant that we received to help cover the costs of outsourcing one of our HR management responsibilities.

Through our Digital Link Project, we provided two new laptops and hotspots to the Cedar Park & Hurst Community Group. Sam, our Project Lead, also delivered training to their 11 volunteers so that they could become Digital Champions and offer basic digital skills assistance.

Build your digital confidence, free support @NMandDVC tomorrow morning. If you, or perhaps someone you know, is struggling to get online why not come along to our free drop-in support session tomorrow morning, 10.30am, at New Mills Volunteer Centre.

PCrefurb's Digital Training Coordinator, Suzanne, has been supporting the ‘Steps to Employment’ programme delivered by @CAPuk at the Revive Church, New Mills. Participants have learnt how to job search online, type up CVs in Word and complete job applications.

Data security is our highest priority so we are immensely grateful for the generous support of @redkeyusb. They allow us to use their data erasure software for free. Find out more in our blog: pcrefurb.org.uk/2024/06/07/red…

Some days working in the charity sector are completely uplifting! 💙 We had one of those really great days recently thanks to Gareth and his team... @redkeyusb pcrefurb.org.uk/2024/06/07/red…

Celebrating our volunteers. Pictured here are some of our wonderful refurbishers, Anthony, Shaun and Ben. These guys come to our weekly workshops and offer their incredible technical skills to ensure that digital devices are ready to be passed onto clients. #VolunteersWeek2024

Celebrating Volunteers' Week! Pictured here with Suzanne our Digital Training Coordinator are (top to bottom) Sean, Aaron and Chris, some of our fantastic Digital Coordinators. Thanks so much for sharing your time and skills. #VolunteersWeek2024

We're looking for more volunteer Digital Champions to support clients, in group settings, in Glossop and Tameside. Please get in touch if you're interested in helping people to get online. pcrefurb.org.uk/contact-us/

♻️ Saving devices from being thrown away to give to people who can't get online is one of our key objectives. It’s not always glamorous or photogenic, but the work of our technical team is quietly amazing. Great in-house training today! 👏 👏👏 buff.ly/44v6dKk
