Aims

• The project will provide one or more computers with Internet access so that groups can search the eSussex site and engage in its content development or discussion areas. Locations need to be available equally for communities that are geographical as well as communities of interest
• Support users and community groups and enable them to engage in SIESTA whether online or not. One individual in each organisation to be the main contact person although better to have all staff and volunteers up to speed too. Help provide additional material to go in the resource pack
• Provide feedback and support the project manager in developing monitoring tools for the SIESTA project to explore the impact such technology can have on how groups function and use information
• Provide publicity to the project via newsletters, meetings, drop-in sessions, events etc
• Work with other organisations as well as the project partners so that Internet access can be as wide and available as possible. Due care is needed to ensure disabled people or those with other mobility, remoteness or practical obstacles can be catered for

A document assisting groups to share their computer with clients and the general public, is being developed, as part of the need for a meaningful exit strategy.
