Old laptop to borrow

Recommended Posts

Hi all, my partner works in a school and one of her sixth form pupils is struggling to finish his coursework as he has no computer at home, he?s a really good kid but his mum has been seriously ill and can?t afford one. The school are a nightmare to get anything organised. Any chance someone has and old one knocking around they can donate or lend for a couple of months? Just needed for internet, word and PowerPoint so does not need to be high spec. Thanks

You might find a grant-giving trust on Turn2Us [https://grants-search.turn2us.org.uk/] and possibly through Turn2Us Funds. You can filter the search for studying, carer, location etc. The Buttle Trust (ButtleUK - https://grants-search.turn2us.org.uk/grant/buttle-uk-13926?iframe=False&postcode=se220ah) might be a good place to start, although from a quick search there may be a couple of trusts in Southwark.


Also Acts 435 is a charity [https://acts435.org.uk] that provides small grants via crowdfunding. You would need to find the local advocate and apply through them [https://acts435.org.uk/join/advocates?region=london]. Locally, the Copleston Centre Church, Pecan in Peckham High St and All Saints Church, Peckham are listed, but there might be one closer to the pupil's address.

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.     
    • Anyone else received a cold call from this company pretending to be calling on behalf of EE? When I asked how they’d got my data they said ‘from East Dulwich forum’. I have contacted the Admin to find out whether EDF are selling our data to marketing companies or if they’ve been hacked. Alternatively the website is being scraped somehow.    Just warning others in case anyone else receives a call- it’s a scam, do not engage with them 🙂
