AbilityNet joins Helplines Association

AbilityNet is pleased to announce that it has become an associate member of The Helplines Association - the membership and good practice organisation for all helplines in the UK and beyond.

Joining the Association means that AbilityNet can share good practice of its renowned Advice and Information Line to other charities - and also get ideas on how to improve their service from the Helplines Association network of helplines who deal with a wide range of topics. The Helplines Association currently has over 400 member organisations.

AbilityNet's Anne Stafford said of the partnership:

“We are very pleased to be associate members of the THA and benefitting from the network that ensures standards of excellence for helplines”. 

AbilityNet's free helpline service is open Monday to Friday on 0800 269 545, providing specialist information about how disabled people can use computers, the internet and other forms of new technology. In 2012 the Advice and Information Line took over 1400 enquiries.
