Another Laptop Donation Enables Lockdown Learning

Technology to learn from home is vital and without access to computers, local school children are missing out. In September, schools will be expected to have plans in place to offer remote education to pupils who are self isolating too.  To bridge the gap, we partnered with local company, The Recruitment Consultancy, in order to help these children keep up with their studies and stay in touch with family and friends.

Two local primary schools, Walton Oak and Bell Farm, recently took delivery of five new laptops each and, just last week, we made a further joint donation with The Recruitment Consultancy of four new laptops to Grovelands Primary School.

We recently launched our COVID-19 Response Appeal and pledged to match fund donations received (up to £100,000).  We are relying on the generosity of local companies and our community to donate whatever they can to our appeal and reach more local families who urgently need our support and have been hardest hit by the crisis.  Our joint support will also  ensure local organisations can keep providing essential services for children, young people and their families.

If you would like to make a donation, you will be doubling the difference and providing a lifeline for more Elmbridge families.
