KEIGHLEY Healthy Living has launched a campaign to raise £5,000 by May 15 to continue running beginners' IT courses.

The charity says that since the sessions began last year, they've proved hugely popular, and there is strong demand for them to continue.

Fundraising efforts are endorsed by the Aviva Community Fund, which will match-fund pledges.

Melanie Hey, for Keighley Healthy Living, says: "We believe that by helping to develop IT skills in our community, we can impact multiple aspects of a person’s life – financially, socially and health wise.

"After seeing the impact the courses and one-to-one sessions have on service users, we're raising funds to ensure more people in Keighley have the skills to use technology in their daily lives."
