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.

    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
