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.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
