TAVISTOCK's computer recycling and training project will officially be launched on Wednesday, July 9.

The project will be holding a stall in Tavistock Pannier Market from July 9, where people can find out about getting a recycled computer and receiving computer training.

Unwanted computers and laptops are given to the project to help those who find the cost of buying a new computer difficult. The group asks for a small donation from computer recipients.

At the market, people will be able to find out about learning to use computers and get advice if they would like to get online. People can experience the internet at the market and discuss their individual needs with tutor Janet Mashford.

The courses are mostly held at Kingdon House Community Centre.

Janet said: 'The courses are fun and friendly with no upper age limit. Many of our learners are 70 to 80.

'Anyone can learn, and getting on-line can change your life and open up a whole new world for people.'

In addition, there will be an opportunity to buy home learning courses or register for the next group courses. The courses are suitable for complete beginners or those who wish to fill in the gaps in their computer knowledge and skills.

Alternatively, one-to-one training can be arranged to suit the individual.
