AND Free Library Internet Access

Transcription

1 Credit Unions AND Free Library Internet Access Credit Unions Credit Unions provide affordable financial services to their members. They can offer bank account facilities, savings, loans and a whole range of other financial services. We believe they offer a more cost effective solution to our tenants, rather than turning to door step and pay day lenders. We have provided a comprehensive list of Credit Unions that operate in our local areas, with detailed information on how to join. Free Internet Access The new Welfare Reforms require our tenants to use the internet to make their claims for Universal Credit on-line. With this in mind we have provided details of local libraries that offer free internet access for our tenants. The amount of free time does vary from library to library but most offer at least 30 minutes free access. Computer Skills Training If you need computer skills training, some libraries offer free courses to improve your skills, check with your local library to find out more. There are also free online courses available via the following websites: Online learning tools for using a computer, using the internet, making the most of your money and job hunting online. A website dedicated to helping communities overcome social and digital exclusion. It offers a wide range of training and development programmes and helpful links and resources to other online courses and facilities This website has various links to training facilities and can also help tenants to access some funding for courses or IT equipment. A BBC website that offers basic courses in using a computer and the internet.
