Beckside Computer Workshop is a small rehabilitation project based in the south of the city of Lincoln. The project aims to provide young people who have a history of schizophrenia with an opportunity to acquire basic keyboard and computing skills and at the same time to improve their ability to operate confidently in new social situations. Some are recruited from a health service funded rehabilitation hostel but most participants are living in the community. Ultimately, it is hoped that some of those taking part will eventually gain meaningful employment.
