Further Updates

Hello again everyone!

Here are some more updates, we have been quite busy as of late so I have not had a lot of chance to blog about events that are going on - so here is the change.

Firstly, we would like to thank Abadare Girls School for their second donation to our recycling project - the results of which can be found on our Facebook Group.

Secondly, we are working on a new recycling system so people will be able to register for pickups and browse which items we currently have up for recycling via our website.

Third, we are in the process of starting our recycling and advice surgery project with 2 Communities First areas, Treherbert and Penrhys. We are looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

And that's all for now folks. Please check back soon for more news and updates.

Hello again everyone!

I have some interesting news to report today. We have had a meeting with TooGoodToWaste and they are interested in working with us on the CCC Recycling Project - this is great news since I'm sure their expertise in recycling and their support in general will go a long way in helping us fill out goals. I, and the rest of my staff would like to thank them for their support!

Welcome!

Welcome to the new Community Computer Care Ltd. website. We are now online and content will be added over the next couple of days.

I have a couple of news items to report. Firstly - we are now fully registered as a social enterprise and would like to give our thanks to Jeyesh Parmer for his support and guidance over the past few months. We are currently working towards getting a business bank account.

Today we met an advisor from the CoalFields Regeneration Trust with regards to a bid we intend on placing in the next few weeks and the news is far better than we hoped. We may put in an application to the CoalFields Regeneration Trust to fund two full time members of staff for two years as well as overhead costs. This is brilliant news!
