Annotation	Sheltered housing can offer a stimulating environment in which information and communication technology (ICT) can be introduced to older people. Equipment may be communally owned or shared, and residents may provide mutual support and assistance to each other. This report briefly outlines the six projects presented to the Workshop. In each, the initiative had come from outside the sheltered housing scheme, but there is no reason why this need not be so. Headings from the Sussex Rural Community Council (SSRC) publication, "Providing public access to computers and the internet: a guide for voluntary organisation and community groups" were used as the basis for participants' discussions.
