We received a grant of £7,000 which we have used to purchase equipment. The grant is to help promote education,social inclusion of the able bodied,disabled,children,young people and their families giving them increased confidence,motivation,improved communication skills,reading and handwriting skills through the medium of amateur radio,and gaining a nationally recognised qualification. The equipment purchased will be used to teach and train young people,and to promote the hobby at public events,and try and encourage other people to take up the hobby.Our first call was to P.C.World,Business Advisor Chris Turner,he checked and assembled our order,and offered helpfull advice,(and with our business account gave us favorable terms)He proved very knowledgable,freindly and gave us our first photo opurtunity.. ......We will certainly use them again...well done P.C.World.
