Managing any organisation is hard. We know it takes a lot of time and energy. One thing you don’t want to worry about is your IT. It should just work, right? And that goes for your phone systems and internet connections too. Communications are also vital to any organisation, business or charity.
There are so many aspects to IT, many of which are easily overlooked. Is your business data properly backed up and easily restored should an issue arise? Are you sure you have the correct cyber security in place? Has your team had the training they need? And the list of questions goes on …
This page is created to help you with whatever IT issues you may be struggling with. Below are some useful links to training sessions, videos and additional support services.
IT Training
Using Microsoft, Apple or Android systems
We know learning to use technology can be overwhelming and we can soon get left behind. Here at Wealden Volunteering we offer free one hour, one-to-one training sessions on how to use Microsoft, Apple and Android systems.
The service is available by appointment. Please contact us to book a session.
Cyber Security
Cybercrime is on the increase. In the UK one small business is hacked every 19 seconds! A key to keeping your business safe is keeping your staff trained and aware of what to look out for from the cyber criminals.
On the subject of cyber-attacks and prevention we have 3 short training videos below courtesy of PS Tech. Please share with your team and use them as reminders.

Recycling Old IT Hardware
Many of us have old tech lurking away in the back of a cupboard at home. We don’t always know what to do with it, so it just stays there.
The Centre has teamed up with an IT company in Eastbourne who can professionally refurbish old gadgets and in return, they will supply us with refurbished equipment which we can pass on to local charities and those in need. We will shortly be supplying The Malthouse in Uckfield with a computer suite and IT support for their residents through this initiative.
If you have any old tech at home, please bring it in to us. We can take ANY device, whether it’s an old computer, laptop, mobile phone, printer or cables. It doesn’t matter how old the device is either. If possible, please delete any personal documents first, but they will be wiped if necessary.
