Website: www.access-space.org Access Space is the longest running free internet learning centre in the UK. The centre brings together old computers and new open source software to create a radical, sustainable response to industrial decline and social dislocation. Access Space is run by both a small team of employed staff and a vast number of local volunteers, and used by thousands of learners each year to share information, creativity, skills and interest. The centre is open to the public but participants are expected to help as well as be helped. It was set up by media artist James Wallbank and friends who set out to work solely using computers they had obtained for free.

Back in 1990, Geoffrey Canada was just your average do-gooder. That year, he became the president of a nonprofit charitable organization based in Harlem called the Rheedlen Centers for Children and Families, and he set out trying to improve the world, one poor child at a time. It was a bad moment to be poor in New York City.
