Volunteers needed for our Back to Work groups

Would you be able to help people with basic IT skills, such as attaching a CV to an email, creating an email address, helping to fill in online application forms?

If the answer is 'yes' we need you! New Malden and Hook Libraries are running 'Back to Work' groups and we need volunteers to come and help out at these sessions. You can choose from a morning or afternoon session and we would need your commitment to helping out for an 8 week period initially. The sessions run for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
