This is a computer training project run by David Todd under the auspices of the charity Care In Action/NSF(Scotland). It has been running since September 1993, and allows many people with mental health difficulties the opportunity to gain valuable skills not only in computing, but also social and team skills, making the prospect of employment a viable one for some people where it hadn't been before. Most of all it is fun!

Trainees mostly work a 15-hour week and spend the time very constructively. There are real jobs to be done on a regular basis, some of which contribute towards the continued funding of Genesis. A great sense of satisfaction and achievement is thereby had by all.
