Charity's PC plea is answered

9:24am Thursday 15th March 2001

JOBLESS students in Chesham have been given a boost after a local firm gave them a personal computer to improve their facilities.

Chesham-based charity Scout Enterprises works to get unemployed information technology trainees back into work.

The group, which has a workshop in the White Hill Centre, White Hill, has had to rely on ageing and low-specification computer equipment.

But following an SOS from students, bosses at Nycomed Amersham, in White Lion Road, Little Chalfont, stumped up a PC the company no longer needed for the charity.

Delighted Vincent Wiacek, Scout Enterprises tutor, said: "This is more than welcome because we are dependent on the good will of others."

Scout Enterprises is a national charity with branches all over the UK.

The Chesham branch meets five days a week and helps more than 12 trainees at a time teaching them about office technology.

Anyone with computer equipment going spare should call Chesham Scout Enterprises group on (01494) 793745
