Tech-Takeback deliver 23 refurbished laptops to Carlton Hill Primary School as part of Level Up Laptops Appeal

11/2/2021

 
Tech-Takeback has made a second delivery of refurbished laptops to local children without access to IT equipment for home education on behalf of Level Up Laptops. The appeal, launched by Brighton-based business SoPro in partnership with the Tarner Community Project and Tech-Takeback, delivered the 23 devices to Carlton Hill Primary School earlier today. This follows 20 laptops delivered to St Luke’s Primary School on Monday.
Tamsen Beer, Headteacher at Carlton Hill Primary School said “We have worked hard to create a fun and engaging online curriculum - but we realise that it is no good to our pupils if they can't access it!
 
There are still many of our families who are sharing devices with their siblings and/or parents and are therefore struggling. This incredibly generous initiative by Level Up Laptops will help us to continue to tackle the wide digital divide by giving these families a refurbished laptop to support the children with their remote learning. It will also bring these children back into our school community as they will be able to communicate with classmates and teachers through our blogs and video calls.”

The laptops delivered were collected by Tech-Takeback as part of the RevaluElectricals doorstep collection service for unwanted small electricals in Brighton & Hove, which launched in November 2020 in partnership with The ZeroNet and with support from Brighton & Hove City Council and the Recycle Your Electricals campaign. All personal data is removed from the donated devices with a certificated data-erasure process before refurbishment and PAT testing.
 
Residents of Brighton & Hove can continue to donate unwanted laptops, tablets and other small electricals via the RevaluElectricals service. Local businesses can also request a collection of any quantity of devices using our online collection request form. More details on how to donate.
 
There are a number of costs involved in preparing devices for use by the most vulnerable members of our community. As a not-for-profit company, we rely heavily on external funding. In order to quickly respond to the increasing demand for devices, we have launched a crowdfunding page on GoFundMe. Please consider donating to help fund the preparation of a device for a child learning from home, a family in need of support or a vulnerable member of our community.
