The Really Helpful I.T. Company





Online Facilities

Hayling Island Community Centre is also an Online Centre, providing the opportunity for all Islanders to have access to computers, either for the first time, or to improve upon existing I.T skills. We have 4 terminals, a scanner and printer available for use. A locally based company, SAQ.net, have kindly pledged their ongoing support , and provide Internet connection and technical support free of charge.

Lack of space dictated that the computer equipment had to be installed in one of our activity rooms, and as a result the facilities are open at various times and days depending upon availability of the room.

A timetable of availability is published monthly, and can be found either online, or in the lobby at the Centre. Details of courses and supervised sessions can be found here, as well as drop in times for those who do not need any help.
