Foresight hosts a range of computing classes as well as offering services for people with disabilities including a befriending service. The centre is used by about 200 people every day and there are waiting lists for the next start date of courses. Charity Bank approved a £300,000 loan in order to extend its building which will now include a community cafe. It hopes its services will be able to reach an extra 50 people a day once the work has finished.
