Project Summary
A 1:1 computer club for children with learning difficulties. Young volunteers recruited from local schools in Pinner run the club. They are matched with special needs children to teach them the basics of IT on a 1:1 basis. This project has enabled links with the local Starbucks for funding and even employment as two Link Up clients are now employed at Starbucks. The judges thought this was an amazing project that has had an amazing impact on all concerned.
