New Projects Approved

As I've not updated my blog for a while a few new projects have been approved by the Communities @One Grants Panel which will bring more digital inclusion to our communities in Neath Port Talbot.

Age Concern Neath Port Talbot has received confirmation of application approval which will see 4 of our Communities First areas receive local informal technology training and support so individuals and groups (such as the pensioners group in Melin) will be able to learn about how technology can bring benefit to their lives. The project was approved at the start of 2007 for a start and launch around March. Look out for the project in Melincryddan (Neath East), Cwmavon, Ystalyfera and Lower Brynamman - hope you all enjoy!!!

Enfys Rainbow Boat Trust received funding to develop their own website through a training course. The fantastic group run from the Canal cottage in Resolven runs a disability friendly barge along the Neath canal for people through Neath Port Talbot and beyond. The volunteers and staff have already benefited from the training and will start to create their website which is hoped will help to sustain the wonderful project by allowing our communities to book online and find out more about the project. Users of the boat will also be encouraged to use digital cameras and contribute to the website. Again good luck and hope the funding achieves everything you wanted and more.
