Burwash, Burwash Common and Burwash Weald
Community Internet Facility
Located between the Scout Headquarters and Fairfield Surgery in the free Burwash Car Park the Community Internet Facility is run by volunteers who can help learners to set up a free email account, search the web and register for free online basic computer training. We already have a number of successful ‘students’ who have completed the basic computer course!
Opening Times:

10-00am - 1.00pm |
Wednesday |
10-00am - 1.00pm |

The facility will also be available for private hire, and we are planning a series of special events and focused training sessions that we believe will be of interest to everyone, and not just beginners.

Free Training
We’re aware that many older people find computers and the Internet something of a challenge too far, and inevitably lose out on the benefits that the Internet can deliver for everyone.
We're addressing this “digital disadvantage” by offeringfreebasic computer training classes to local residents, and the training will be provided by our team of volunteers.
Where there is demand for other courses on specific topics – these can be arranged.
