We have been able to buy computers for the children of asylum-seeking families with thanks to a generous grant of £6,000 from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Foundation (HiWCF), who have been working with the National Emergencies Trust to distribute emergency funds to local charities and voluntary groups.
These children are less likely to have access to computers at home, and this risked impacting their educational development. Within two and half weeks of receiving the grant, we have been able to distribute laptops to 18 children, with 5 more on order. This was quite an exercise, not least because there are order limits in place, due to the demand on laptops at the moment. We are delighted to have been able to made a difference to these children by ensuring they have the equipment needed to participate fully in their education. Comments are closed.
