UTASS's Sir Tom Cowie Training Suite
UTASS is delighted to announce that it has been granted over £6,000 from the Sir Tom Cowie Charitable Trust to completely refit and update its very old computer training area. This very much needed injection of finance has meant that the new "Sir Tom Cowie Training Suite" now has 8 brand new computers, 8 comfortable "training" swivel chairs and 2 fully linked new printers. The suite was completed just in time for the commencement of the latest round of computer support at UTASS in the form of Beginners, VAT & Excel IT courses. Learners from both Teesdale and Weardale are currently undergoing training.Diane Spark, UTASS's Project Manager says "The increasing requirement of computer skills on everyone nowadays, and particularly the pressure on farmers to return all their forms "electronically", has made this resource provided by the Sir Tom Cowie Charitable Trust such a necessary and valuable acquisition to the upper dales".
Over 1,600 family members makes UTASS the largest membership registered charity in Teesdale. Membership is open to ANYONE, although people living outside Teesdale will be designated associate membership status, in line with our governing document.
UTASS is based in the Centre of Middleton-in-Teesdale.
