I am posting below a message which I received from another list but feel it
will be of interest.
As you may know UCanDoIT (
www.ucandoit.org.uk)
is a charity that teaches disabled adult students how to use the Internet
and email. Almost 2000 students have been taught by us. Teaching is on a
one-to-one
basis in student's own homes. This is particularly relevant to many disabled
people as they often can not physically attend classes or, even more often,
there are no classes with tutors trained in specialist software.
Fundraising gets more difficult each year but we believe that tuition like
this should be the responsibility of the government so we have an online
petition
on the No 10 Downing Street website
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/ucandoit/
We are asking if you could sign it, forward it, add it to your ezines,
newsletters or any other communications that will bring it people's
attention. We
really want to get as many names as possible on the petition in the hopes of
persuading at least one government body to take responsibility for funding
tuition.
If you need any further information please contact us.
