EverybodyOnline aims to help communities overcome barriers they may have so residents can take advantage of the wealth of opportunities digital technology and the Internet has to offer.
The project is unique in its approach, rather than simply bringing in technology and walking away, a locally based project officer works with the community to remove the issues preventing access. For example, setting up partnerships to provide childcare at computer taster sessions so parents don't miss out, or ensuring current community equipment is made available at times that suit the residents as opposed to the venue.
EverybodyOnline is about giving the community what they need.
