BBMV volunteer feedback “It was great to see people were aware of the need to get help to use a computer and expanding their knowledge so that they can bond with their children and help them with their work. ” Nathan “Taking part in this scheme was very rewarding. I saw a transition in the students, from a stage where they had very little ability in computing to a stage where they had begun to master the basics. The keenness of the students also helped to make the scheme enjoyable. Every week I was met with questions and example of work they had done in the week. For this reason alone I feel that the programme was a great one as it helping the students integrate with the modern ICT dependant world. ” Callum 11 BBMV working together to deliver effective solutions for Crossrail
