[LUG] OT-ish: Government aid for computers

 

In case anyone knows someone...

On 11 January, the government launched the Home Access Grant scheme to
provide grants to low income families to buy computer and/or internet
packages.  Families with children in state-maintained schools in
England, in school years three to nine, who are entitled to free school
meals or are in receipt of one of a number of qualifying benefits, will
be able to apply for the grant.  Carers and foster parents for 'looked
after children' in school years one to thirteen are also likely to be
eligible to apply for the grant.  Families can call the Home Access
Grant helpline on 0333 200 1004 to get an application form.  More
information about the scheme is available on the Home Access website at
http://www.homeaccess.org.uk/.
