Access Technology Scotland CIC exists to widen access to learning opportunities and provide learning and training opportunities, activities and sessions to it’s “Priority Groups”. The Priority Groups are people living within Scotland’s communities who are less likely to otherwise be able to access the opportunities it provides. They include but are not necessarily limited to: - people living in areas of multiple deprivation - the old and the young - people who have disability or illness - people experiencing financial hardship - people who belong to an ethnic minority - people who live in geographically isolated areas During the financial year Apr 23-Apr 24 we completed the Tune In project to disadvantaged youngsters in Larkfield Inverclyde. Funded by Creative Scotland, this project engaged local children with various music making activities. We continued our crucial access to day-to-day digital skills training and support through several powerful projects. Through various funding secured from SCVO, the National Lottery, Robertson Trust and Independent Age, this year we continued to increase our provision of digital skills support and improve access with these projects including more tailored avenues of support such as home visits and 1-1. Through our partnership with Creative Scotland we were able to continue providing essential digital music provision through our Saturday Soundbite project. Funded through the National Lottery’s Young Start Programme, we have begun our 3 year fully funded opportunity for the young people of Inverclyde. This unique employability-centred project is aimed at young people in Inverclyde aged between 16-24. Developing many new skills, 20 young people a year will be leading a local refurbishment initiative refurbishing approx. 100 donated computers, saving them from landfills and reusing them for the benefit of residents in need and the creation of a local Circular Economy. The Robert Burns World Federation was fortunate to be awarded funds to update and redesign their website. Access Technology Scotland undertook this redesign and completed the build and migration. We also continued our support of Inverclyde Gaelic through their Greenock Highlanders Project. With this Schools based project about Gaelic history in Inverclyde, pupils learned various skills such as photography and film making producing a film and a website.
The company’s stakeholders are first and foremost the participants in the learning activities offered, with others being partnership organisations we work with and staff. The directors of the company lived in Inverclyde most of their lives and have been involved in education for closed to 25 years giving them the knowledge and relevant information and experience to create a sound and effective business model. Various evaluation methods are utilised after every course delivered to evaluate delivery methods and content, and also to enquire about new topics and training needs that the members of the community have and that possibly be met by the company. Also consultation with local organisations is ongoing in searching and exploring for new partnerships and learning opportunities. This evaluative data and research has allowed us to modify project content and delivery for future funding applications allowing delivery to be expanded and adapted to suit a broader range of participant breaking down an ever increasing number of barriers.
