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.

FUNDING: The Really Helpful IT Company who run these courses have been unsuccessful in acquiring funding for a further year, and service with them will cease from the end of May. The Community Centre has applied for a lottery grant, and our bid has been selected to reach the second stage of the application process. Whilst this does not guarantee a grant, it does look hopeful but we will have to wait until the middle of July for confirmation.
In the meantime, we are able to offer a reduced hours service for June and July with Malcolm, and also Hugh from Highbury College who has been here teaching Digital Cameras and Photoshop for the past year.
PUBLIC SESSIONS : Are for public use, and are unsupervised. Do your own thing!
SUPERVISED SESSIONS : Are for those who need I.T. help – Booking essential. *£5 charge applies . Please note these sessions will only run if a minimum of 4 people are booked in.
COURSES : Booking essential. Call into the office to enrol-payment due in full at time of booking.
