Home access - In England

The government has launched the Home Access grant scheme. They want people to be able to get online at home and have a chance to learn more. A Home Access grant might pay for a computer, a year's internet access and service and support.

You might be able to get a Home Access grant if:

  • you have children in school years 3 to 9, or you are a carer or foster parent for children in school years 1 to 13
  • your children are at a state school, or their education is paid for by the local authority or the government
  • you get certain benefits, for example income support, guaranteed pension credit or free school meals for your child
  • you haven't had a grant for a computer from a scheme like this before.

You can find out more about the Home Access grant scheme and get an application form by calling their helpline on 0333 200 1004, emailing them at enquiries@homeaccess.org.uk or looking online at (New window) www.homeaccess.org.uk.
