Each year, around springtime, more than 2,000 Spring Online digital taster events are held across the UK over the course of a week. The events take place in a wide variety of venues and are run by volunteers: individuals and organisations that are as passionate about digital technology as we are and keen to make a difference in their communities.

“It has been one of the most rewarding campaigns we have been involved in.”

“I have never used a computer before and now I have an email account and can shop online. I am so delighted I came.”

The Best Event Awards were held on Thursday 27th September and presented by Esther Rantzen. To read about the shortlisted organisations visit the website.

Keep an eye on the website for details of next year’s Spring Online at The Hope Foundation, from 22nd to 26th April 2013.

But if you want to learn how to set up an email address, use the Internet or shop online you don’t have to wait until then. Come to The Hope Foundation drop-ins on Monday and Tuesday afternoons 1-3pm or sign up for one of our IT courses to get started.
