Hi, I had two laptops which I was going to throw out. I saw the news last night saying that there are a huge number of school children whose family?s can?t afford a laptop and therefore are struggling to learn from home. I contacted a friend of mine who is a teacher and she confirmed this upsetting fact.

I donated two of my laptops that I wasn?t using.

If anyone has an old iPad or laptop that they would like to donate, please, please contact me and I will put you in touch with a school in need.


So far I have received and given 18 devices to schools who have children in need from disadvantaged families.


If you don?t have an old device but still want to help, I am trying to raise money to buy 15 laptops for children who are in need.


This is the crowd funding link:

Many thanks in advance

I passed on my redundant desktop Mac to Lambeth Tech at the weekend. They take old PCs and Macs (and not necessarily laptops) to families and students struggling with being online - or take the parts from older models that can't be upgraded to later operating systems. They collect or one can drop-off at specific times.

    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this. It's got nearly 70,000 signatures at present, and apparently runs till February.
    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
