IT support around WIFI

Description

Bright Sparks is a registered charity. It was established in 1998 and operates within Midlothian.

The Bright Sparks mission is “To provide valuable, involved, inclusive and quality based child and family oriented services which includes playgroup, holiday activities and after school support for children with complex additional needs and their families.”

The charity is fully grant dependent and run by a Management Committee made up of parent volunteers. We are a group of passionate parents trying to make a difference within our community, as we face the same daily challenges with our own children’s disabilities as our families who attend do. The opportunities and activities that we deliver aren’t widely available locally.

We currently only have access to the internet in 2 of our rooms in the centre, our main office and our main entrance area. Wifi throughout the entire building would be hugely beneficial to the children and families who access our services. We don’t know how to go about this and would very much appreciate someone with IT knowledge popping out to see us to help us figure out if this is possible with the equipment we have. 

Having the additional internet access would allow the children to access communication aids in all areas, connect music to blue tooth equipment, allow payment for services to become "cashless", allow for several meetings to take place at the same time and mean that children would be able to access iPads and laptops in all areas to play games etc.
