East End Literacy Team

Proposal code: CONSUL-2025-12-236

East End computer ready

This grant will fund the purchase of much needed equipment such as laptops, Chromebooks, tablets and mice. Literacies Dundee will provide digital literacy provision for residents of the East of Dundee. We currently have provision in Douglas Community Centre and we plan to have new provision in the East End Housing Office Community Room starting in January so that the community can access services online, stay up to date with current affairs and gain access to information about what is on offer in their local and wider community. We also hope that these classes will give individuals in the community the opportunity to develop their computer skills to be able to gain a qualification in ICT or increase their skills improving their likelihood of gaining a place in further education, be successful in getting a job or a volunteering opportunity. Adult Literacy are looking to partner with two drop-in services in the East End (Douglas Community Centre and Brooksbank), which aims to support residents maximise their income through benefits and employments. These digital devices will support residents apply for benefits, access services and apply for training, further education and employment.
