	Learning and Training for Everyone

Volunteering with BITES could change your life.

Here is the story of former BITES volunteer, now staff member, Audrey Alexander .

"I was given the opportunity of working as a volunteer IT trainer with BITES in February 2006, so that I could begin to return to a work environment after a period of ill-health. Since joining them as a volunteer, I have to say that my self-confidence and self-esteem has increased greatly as I both rediscover and enhance both personal and professional skills.

It has been the most rewarding and valuable experience, as it not only helped the social isolation I experienced from not being able to work, but I also found something that I really enjoy doing and I have been given the further opportunity to receive training myself through ECDL and Digital Photography. BITES further showed faith in me by giving me the opportunity to develop and deliver a course in Digital Photography.

Without BITES, I may not have had this opportunity to gain access to this area of potential career opportunities.

I can only say Thank You BITES, which doesn't seem enough for all the support and opportunities they have given me over the past 20 months."
