People who are vulnerable and/or are on benefits are required to have access to computers and basic IT Skills in order to job search and perform various other activities. For some this is very difficult, if not impossible to manage on their own, but churches and the community want to help. A partnership is being developed with the local authority to help this happen.

This event has been organised by Bethany Christian Trust, The Friary, Gilfillan Church and Faith in Community Dundee. 

If you’d like to be involved, or would like to find out more, please come along, and if possible, volunteer.

To book your space please contact Chelsea Lamont;
