Pete, a carer from Knowle West, talks about the benefits of his new digital lifestyle

by Kevin on February 1, 2010 · View Comments

Pete Taylor from Knowle West cares full-time for his son who has a limiting health condition.

Pete was given a free, “no strings attached” recycled council computer and no-frills Internet access as part of our Digital Neighbourhoods programme.

In this video Pete talks about the amazing impact that being on line has had on his life and on the way he cares for his son.

Since appearing in this film, Pete has taken his “computer life style” one step further and has signed-up to a commercial broadband deal.

Pete is just one of many people who want to become connected via Knowle West Web, part of the Digital Neighbourhoods programme, which is a partnership between Bristol City Council, Knowle West Media Centre and Citizens on Line.

During the coming year, we aim to extend the reach of this project in Knowle West and in other parts of the city.

  • Pete that is brilliant news, and I hope that more council's across the country will do the same for carers.
    We have been doing this for a few years now and letting carers have free computers and laptops, so we know how much it means. I am thrilled for you.
    all best
