October 15th – 21st saw the annual Get Online Week and here at BFE we were actively involved in promoting the Internet to digitally excluded people in the North East.
On Thursday October 18th we went to Eldon Square, armed with laptops, to hopefully encourage the shoppers of Newcastle to sign up to the benefits of being online!
The day was a great success, thanks to the extremely enthusiastic input from the members of staff at Morrisons and Common Purpose who were on placement with BFE for the week as part of their Leadership Training Programme. The team helped out on the day in a voluntary capacity engaging the public and encouraging them to Get Online!
We already plan to be back for a similar event very soon, so watch this space!
