Welcome to the website of the Isle of Wight Rural Community Council.
Digital switchover - community volunteers needed!
Are you involved in your local community? Would you like help get the message about the digital switchover out to people in your area?
TV across the UK is going digital, the switchover dates for the Isle of Wight are 7th and 21st of March. After the final switchover date, people who only have analogue TV equipment will not be able to receive the new digital signal so they need to take action now to convert their TV to digital or they will lose channels. For more information to help you switch look at the Digital UK website
We are looking for volunteers to work with us across the Island in the countdown to switchover in March 2012 to help get the message out to isolated people who may not get this information from other sources.
We can also give talks to volunteers and provide literature about switchover in a wide range of formats.
We may be able to provide a small grant to help support community awareness events about switchover.
If you are interested in helping, please contact Elaine Garrett at the RCC on 01983 539382 or email
