Laptops for Southwark - new initiative - council matches donations

[Jules-and-Boo]

I received this from the Charter North school this morning.

Southwark Council and the London South Teaching School Alliance have joined forces to launch a borough-wide ?Laptops for Learning? crowdfund appeal. Money raised through the appeal will be used to buy laptops for Southwark schools, for the benefit of young people who need them in order to access online learning. Any donations made to the campaign will be match-funded by the council.

Please help us to get the word out so children at The Charter School North Dulwich and those attending other Southwark schools can benefit.

The appeal is also accepting second-hand devices from businesses. If you know any business owners that may be able to help, please share the link.

Please visit www.crowdfunder.co.uk/laptopsforlearning for more information.

Nearly half way to their target 😁

Thanks for passing this on. Sure there are more people who?ll want to help.

I?ve added it to a What?s App group I?m on. There are a number of students on there who?ve not gone back to university yet so maybe have the knowledge and time to help refurbish computers that come in.

If nothing else the message is getting to another 100 people who might pass it on.

That?s amazing. Thank you so much AlywardS

And thank you to everyone who has supported the children in our community 😊
