Computer software can be expensive. Essential software such as Microsoft Office can cost upwards of hundreds of pounds – and many applications are rapidly updated so that you have to continually pay to stay up to date.

Created as part of the Open Source and Free Software initiatives, this is non-profit software created with the intention of making both the software available freely for others to use and give to others as they see fit.
