BT Head Office



We are in touch now with the top folk in BT who were keen to find out more about our plans for next year - we are looking at planning a big event in London with their sponsorship - it would be most likely for 2012 as these things take a long time to plan for but just the possibility is really exciting.

Out of the blue we received an email from the bbc. They had seen reports about us on the Internet and wanted to speak with us about how our group of older students faced barriers to getting online. They spoke with our students too, to find out their perspective and it is possible they might want to do some filming for their own campaign to get people connected to the Net.

Funding and Support



Actually the school holidays but we had some great news so had to blog - UnLtd have agreed to help us with our project, both financially and offering us support in our planning. The next stage is to market and promote our model and try to get lots of students active in the same way, so that our transgenerational project can be accessed on the web by other schools and would be silver surfers.

This is a massive vote of confidence for us and we are really delighted.
