Making the Internet accessible to all
-
By creating a sharing, internet connected network
meaningful social benefits can be initiated.
Encouraging internet access is a way of making positive
changes in the lives of people who would otherwise have
been excluded.
- Our brief is to encourage and develop practical use
of the internet in safe and useful ways which enhance
people's lives. We do this by bringing together projects
and people with appropriate skill sets, knowledge and
contacts to create new projects on our model, a model
that can be taken up in any community from large to
small. For example we set up training and support for
disabled people in Lewes as part of a proactive
enablement project run by the local disability
association, we have put in place training and support
provision for older people and we have initiated and
supported social working groups for homeworkers see
Jelly!
- And by deploying the professional wireless network
solution offered by Meraki you can replicate the
success of one of the first groups in the UK to deploy
Merakis on a large scale. Lewes Community Internet now
delivers real value to many people each day and
assists and supports disabled people and elderly
people in Lewes, East Sussex.
- We offer support, advice and training for individuals
and groups who wish to start their own projects along the
same lines.
