Need help? We can support you

If you need any help to get started, we have a computer in our reception area that residents can use.  If you want to do any of your online learning at our office please bring a pair of headphones with you as you’ll need to use the audio function for many of the video tutorials.  To use our computer, please contact our engagement team on 0117 942 4600 or email engagement@brighterplaces.co.uk

Alternatively, you can access your local online centre and use their facilities to get online.
