Be Online in Houghton-le-Spring this month at Space4

Some of you may remember that in 2014 Space4 joined in with the Get Online Week campaign. From 23rd-27th February 2015 we will again be joining with other centres around the country in the Be Online campaign, helping you to make the most of the Internet.

If you’ve got a spare hour, we’re on hand to show you how getting online could save you time, hassle and even money. Whether you want to get healthy, get connected, get a job or get a bargain, you could be doing it all – and more – by doing it online. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never even touched a computer before or if you already know a bit – this is your chance to give computers and the internet a go.

It’s fun, it’s free, and it could change how you do your favourite things – and your everyday chores – forever!

One person who’s already got online with a bit of help from Space4 is Jo who said after setting up her email and learning how to use her tablet that it felt like she had ‘wings’!Now she can skype her family abroad and receive photos of her grandchildren by email.

Pop in to Space4 (ground floor of Houghton Library on Newbottle Street) during our opening hours (closed Wednesdays) from 23rd – 27th February and you can go online on our computers or we can help you with your own device if you bring it in.

If you are already a keen internet user, search the #beonline15 hashtag on social media.Be Online!
