more about Pass IT on

Did you know that 10 million people in the UK have never used the internet? That means they're missing out on all of the opportunities and conveniences computers and the internet provide - online bargains, instant communication, and public services to name just three. UK online centres is a community-based network of places helping people with computers and the internet. We want to try to reach everyone we can, and we know that you can help us do that.

For most of us, going online is already second nature. Yet some of our friends, family or neighbours may need a helping hand to get to grips with the basics. The 'Pass IT on' concept is very simple - who better to teach them the internet than the people they know and trust?

This site provides you with a range of free resources to help you get someone started online. So why not make a start right now?
