Free Computer and Internet Access for Children aged 7-14 *ENGLAND ONLY*


http://www.nextgenerationlearning.org.uk/homeaccess

Home Access is a new government programme targeting families that do not have access to a computer or the internet at home.
If you are a low income family, you could qualify for a grant to buy a computer and/or at least one years’ internet access to help your child learn at home.

Depending on what you need, the grant allows eligible applicants to buy one of the following packages:

1. Full package (a computer, one year's internet access, service and support).
2. A computer, service and support only.
3. One year's internet access only.

Home Access will be launched across England in the New Year.

Information for parents

Are you eligible?
If you are a parent and think you are eligible for a Home Access grant simply call the Home Access Grant Helpline on 0333 200 1004 to get an application form.

Quick eligibility check
Have a look eligibility requirements below. You may be able to qualify for a Home Access grant if you:
• Answer yes to three questions in Section one
AND
• Answer yes to at least one question in Section two

Section One:
Are you a parent or guardian responsible for and living with a child…..
…who is in school years 3 to 9?
…who attends a state-maintained school in England full time**?
…who has not already had a computer from a Home Access Grant or similar programme, such as Computers for Pupils?

Section Two:
Do you receive at least one of the following?
• Free school meals for your child***
• Income based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• Income support
• Child Tax Credit but not Working Tax Credit and an income of less than £16,040
• Guaranteed Pension Credit (not Savings Credit)
• Income-based Employment Support Allowance
• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999


I don't live in England but seen this on MoneySavingExpert and thought it might be useful if anyone here qualified! Looks pretty good!
