PC Plus

The PC Plus programme is continuing to provide refurbished computers free of charge to residents of the Cambridge Road Estate and Cambridge Gardens.

Over ninety computers have been taken into their new homes!

If you'd like to apply for a FREE refurbished computer, please download a PC Plus Application Form (from the Our Files section) or contact us for more information at Superhighways on  020 8255 8040 .  Alternatively, you can call in to the Community Advice Shop at the base of Madingley Tower on a Wednesday afternoon between 2pm and 6.30pm to register for a refurbished PC.  Application forms can also be picked up from the Tadlow Estate Office or Piper Hall.

We are distributing free PCs on a "first come, first served" basis, although we will be happy to give priority to those currently without any PC already at home, or people who can demonstrate a particular need (e.g. limited mobility, school-aged children, etc).

We're also looking for volunteers with good ICT skills to join the team and help us with the refurbishment programme.  Please go to Our Files in the menu and fill out the Equal Opportunity Monitoring Form and the Volunteer Profile Form and email them back to support@communityconnected.org.uk .

Some of the reasons given when applying for a refurbished PC:

"I would like the computer for school homework.''

''I want to do a course.''

''I want to start the courses you have on line to help me back into work.''

''I really want to be computer literate in spite of my advanced years.''

''I have four children and I would like to help them with homework.''

''I have a son in year eleven who needs a computer for school.  I cannot afford a computer because I have lost my job and I am on low income.''
