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.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
