Monthly sessions at the Whitley Wood Community Centre’s Tuesday community hub, on the last Tuesday of the month, 10:00-11.30. Just call in with your device or we can use one of our laptops to help you.

Reading Central Library all our sessions are free for anyone needing help with computers and technology to drop in, on a first come first served basis. You can bring your own device or use the library computers.

Come and find us on the first floor of the library:

Are you interested in helping someone to learn about computers and technology? We are also starting to recruit more volunteers for the project. Sessions will be at various times and venues, mostly on weekdays, and generally last 1-2 hours. If you are interested please email david.neale@rva.org.uk or visit https://go-reading.org/get-involved/

For people without internet access we have set up a helpline on 0118 334 1095 where we will be giving out recorded messages about the service. You can also leave us a message if you would like remote help or have an enquiry about our service.

Do you (or does anyone you know) need help with computers? We can help you get going - from basic computer use to setting up and using email, internet searches, filling in online forms, word processing and more. We can also help with using laptops, smartphones and tablets and you are welcome to bring your own device if you have one. Free wi-fi is provided at all venues (at libraries you will need a library card). Just drop in and ask - it's free!
