We seek funding to cover the cost of a small portable projector. This would allow us to deliver our project aims to a wider sector of the community, in spaces that do not have access to this technology. Through this we would hope to increase peoples digital confidence, their awareness of cyber security and how to stay safe online, and their ability to better manage their own health and wellbeing through use of digital platforms.

The Lead Scotland Dundee Learning Project works with adults over 16, resident in Dundee, who identify as disabled or are a carer, and supports them to learn new skills such as literacy, numeracy, digital skills, volunteering and more. They also offer tailored learning sessions to small groups at local accessible community venues. Our services are free, person centered and confidential. They were seeking a small portable projector to allow them to deliver their programme in spaces which don't have access to technology. This programme is intended to increase people's digital confidence, stay safe online and help them to better manage their own health and wellbeing through using digital platforms. Amy O’Reilly, Learning Services Manager, Lead Scotland, noted the impact this had had on their group: "Having the projector has had a huge positive impact on our ability to reach more people in the community to help them achieve their learning goals. Before we were limited to using venues or only attending groups who had their own projector in place, or we had to use alternatives like printed handouts which was a huge barrier and not accessible or inclusive. Now our answer is always yes! Thanks again to Legrand Electrical for the kind gift and thank you to the Community Wishes Team
