Notice Board
Have you got a friend, neighbour or relative who has no access to a computer?
A computer at home helps families or individuals access a range of services more easily than using a phone, whether for health appointments, shopping, tickets for travelling or accessing learning packages and submitting job applications. They also can help people keep in touch easily with remote friends.
This scheme is part of a funding initiative run by Connecting Scotland and funded by the Scottish Government and is available to people in Deeside (Banchory to Braemar), Donside (Alford to Strathdon).
The Government’s requirements are to support people without home digital access who fall into at least one of the following categories:
● over 65
● on a low household income
● living with a long-term illness or disability
● people who are the victims of crime or abuse
● unemployed
The computer is loaned for six months, the loan is renewable every six months until such time as the individual no longer needs it at which time the computer must be returned to us. We provide technical support and any training you may need to get up and running with a laptop.
So pass on our details to anyone you think may find this useful.

I notice that you have a history group. My great grandfather, Gordon Fraser, was born in Tarland and his father was a shoe maker in the town, Isaac Fraser. If anyone has any info, I would be very grateful. Thank You 😁
In the Hall next week...
