Another project managed by ACE IT, the Moose in the Hoose has also been nominated and we will be meeting with them to attend the awards ceremony at the City Chambers on Wednesday, 22nd July 2009.

Moose In The Hoose - Winners of the Ensuring the Inclusion of Older People in Edinburgh category of the Get Up + Go Awards 2009

We are looking forward to a very enjoyable afternoon in the company of many of our friends from community projects across the city – and wish everyone involved the very best of luck on the day.

News Update!
This year the award in the category ‘Ensuring the Inclusion of Older People in Edinburgh’ was won by the Moose In the Hoose. The "Moose" project is also hosted by ACE IT and is aimed at introducing the benefits of computers and the Internet to those living in Care Homes and attending Day Care Centres across Edinburgh.

It is another accolade for ACE IT and we send our congratulations to all the tutors, volunteers and everyone involved in the Moose!
