Tameside Community Computers CIC provides help and support for people within the Greater Manchester area that are digitally excluded, are care leavers, and who may be experiencing digital poverty. The organisation was set up in 2020 by ZenTec Network Solutions Limited during the Covid-19 Pandemic in response to the large number of people who were feeling isolated and alone with no digital means on communicating with others including family and friends. When Lockdown ended it was obvious that there was still a need for the work we had stated, so we decided to continue supporting those in need within our community.
