abstract: Residents at Gloucester House, a nursing home in Sevenoaks, Kent, have been learning to use a newly purchased computer with the help of pupils from a local school who are undertaking a community services programme. Various aids and add-ons have been acquired to make the computer accessible to as many residents as possible. They can use the equipment to surf the internet, email friends and family, and pursue other hobbies and interests. Pictured with Gloucester House resident Charity McLaughlan, are Richard Challis, a student at Sevenoaks School, and Colin Seaward, chair of the Friends of Gloucester House.
