BCRC LAUNCHES NEW COMMUNITY LIBRARY & COMPUTER SUITE
Ballymoney Community Resource Centre’s new IT Suite and Community Library was officially launched on the 11th June by Doris Peden from the Northern Regional College and Leah Tweed from the NEELB. On behalf of their respective organisations and as locals they welcomed the BCRC’s Community Education Initiative. Doris emphasised the importance of further education as it assists individuals to develop self confidence, gain qualifications that may have been missed out first time around, achieve skills and qualifications to enhance career prospects. Leah echoed this sentiment and added that engaging in training and attending a community library is a great medium to create friendships that otherwise may not have happened.
Ballymoney Community Resource Centre is committed to the social, economic, physical, environmental, and cultural development of the Ballymoney Borough area to its optimum potential for the greater good of its people. Its main objectives are to generate extra opportunities for local people, create an atmosphere in the community of capacity and to build sustainability. Following research conducted in the community, in an effort to fulfill these objectives it was decided that developing a computer suite, community library as well as a fully comprehensive training programme would be an invaluable resource for the community of Ballymoney.
The venue has a state of the art IT suite comprising of 10 PCs, all with internet access. It has already proved to be a great success, with 10 members of the community recently completing an accredited OCN qualification in PC Skills. One participant enthused that ‘I really enjoyed the course due to its relaxed nature, comfortable surroundings and fantastic staff’.
The Computers were supplied and networked by Computing N.I. who were extremely efficient, accommodating, professional with very high workmanship we can fully recommend Computing N.I. Denis Barker, Computing N.I, can be contacted on 07793 278403.
The suite is available to hire out subject to availability to both community and corporate groups. For further information call BCRC on (028) 276 65068.
