Participants enrolled on the New Horizons – Building Better Opportunities project have access to a Chromebook loan scheme.
Chromebooks are designed to be used primarily while connected to the internet. Most of the applications and documents live in the cloud.
Rebecca Thompson is the first of our tenants to be enrolled on the programme. She is pictured (above, right), receiving her brand new Chromebook from Louise Marrs, our New Horizons Coach, based in King’s Lynn.
New Horizons was launched in October 2016 with funding from the Big Lottery Fund and the European Social Fund.
The project aims to tackle the root causes of poverty and help those most in need to gain employment.
It covers the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Local Enterprise Partnership area, including the most remote parts of the region. Watch Louise Marrs talking about her role in the project here.
Broadland Housing is one of the eight partners in the project, which is led by housing association CHS Group, along with Axiom Housing, Cross Keys Homes, Centre 33, Norfolk Citizens Advice Bureaux, Papworth Trust and Rural Cambridgeshire Citizens Advice Bureau.
