A MILFORD Haven-based charity that helps families get back on their feet is now helping people get online.

Pembrokeshire Action To Combat Hardship (PATCH) is offering free computer training for local people throughout October at its new bigger base in Cedar Court.

From learning how to get the best deals online or paying your bills over the internet to searching for a new job or emailing a relative, the basic skills courses will have something for everyone.

"Dave Lamb is a brilliant tutor and we have had great feedback from the courses so far," said PATCH co-ordinator Tracy Olin.

"One person didn't even know how to turn a computer on and now they're sending emails."

The next course is Basics of Microsoft Office, which is a four-hour course held on Monday, October 13, from 11am until 1pm and Wednesday, October 15, from 11am until 1pm.

A Financial Inclusion course will be held later this month, starting on October 20.

The courses are open to everyone, but places must be booked in advance.

For more information and dates of future courses, contact PATCH via their Facebook page or telephone 01646 699275.
