20 refurbished laptops delivered to St Luke’s Primary School to support children learning from home

The Level Up Laptops appeal has made the first delivery of 20 refurbished laptops to St Luke’s Primary School. The laptops will be distributed to children with little or no access to IT equipment at home so that they may continue their education.
 
The appeal, launched by Brighton-based marketing technology business SoPro in partnership with Tech-Takeback and Tarner Community Project aims to supply refurbished devices to help bridge the digital divide.
 
Jonathan Cooper, Headteacher at St Luke’s said “These devices will really make a radical difference to the learning of many of the most vulnerable children at the school. These unwanted machines have been brought back to life and will help us ensure we can offer children quality online learning during lockdowns, alongside better communication and support.”

The laptops were collected from Brighton & Hove residents as part of Tech-Takeback’s RevaluElectricals collection service for unwanted electricals. The service launched in November 2020 in partnership with The ZeroNet and with support from Brighton & Hove City Council and the Recycle Your Electricals Campaign.

Tech-Takeback aims to provide data-erased, refurbished devices to children and vulnerable members of the community through a network of charity partners. To support this effort, please consider donating your unwanted devices or supporting our crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for the refurbishment of devices. ​
