YORK residents aged over 50 are being offered help to access computers at a new IT centre.

City MP Hugh Bayley helped open the Target Training centre, above the Age Concern shop in Front Street, Acomb.

A National Lottery-funded organisation, Target Training runs more than 1,000 computer courses for people of various ages.

Through its new Acomb base the group hopes to work closely with Age Concern.

For more information about Target Training classes call 01904 671171.
