How you can help

Three friends run one centre

FILP counts its funding in thirds. That is not a figure of speech — it is what a centre costs.

01
FILP Friends
Only three friends are needed to run one FILP training centre for a year.
02
Help and support
Give an amount that goes entirely towards the cost of running a training centre.
03
Impact for everyone
Each centre gives free IT support back to its community, and lists its friends on the wall.

£1,000 × 3
