Partner organisations - links and information

The lead organisation of the Switched On Project is the charity Peoplecan and the Directional Operational Group of the Project is made up of representatives from the key partner organisations which steers and monitors the Project's activities.  The partner organisations of the Project are central to its success as they provide the important links into their host communities.  These links enable the Project to be embedded in the communities and be able to access participants who require our support.   The main partner organisations that the Project works with are:
