Computers for Rural People

If you live in a rural area, whether on a farm miles from anywhere, or even in a country town, you have to spend time travelling about to get things done or find things out. That is in addition to commuting of course.

Email and Internet provide enormous opportunities when you can't just pop round the corner to the shop or library etc. Yet computers are usually expensive, and few people want to buy one "just to see if it might be useful".

The Arthur Rank Centre is committed to supporting the rural community, and has set up the "Computers for Rural People" scheme to provide computers at very low cost to encourage people to take the first step.

So if you think a computer might be useful, but can't afford several hundred pounds just to try, we can help you.

At a really low price we can provide a computer of your own, pre-loaded with Microsoft software, and delivered to your door with 3 months warranty, to get you started. A fully functioning computer costs as little as £109.

Community Projects.

If you need more than one computer;

E.g. for a Drop-in centre, School etc. the prices are even lower!

For more details, and how to order, visit the Arthur Rank Centre website [link].
