Andrew Powell is raising money for Titan Partnership Limited
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
We are trying to keep our two children Mia (10) and George (9) fit during this lock down by going on regular runs.
Mia and George have asked if they can raise money for disadvantaged children who struggle to learn from home due to a lack of technology.
So they have decided to run at least 100 miles before the end of February and have chosen to raise funds for the Titan Partnership.
The Titan Partnership is looking to raise money to purchase computers for children in the Birmingham after a recent study carried out by the organisation amongst its members revealed that more than 700 hundred children in some of Birmingham's most deprived areas do not have access to suitable devices or the internet at home. They know that this is a very conservative figure therefore they are looking to raise £200,000 to purchase around 1000 devices.
Titan Partnership CEO, Carolyn Chapman-Lees, said:
"The Coronavirus crisis is causing unprecedented challenges for our schools and highlighting the invisible barrier to learning and attainment caused by tech poverty. As a charity, we work to transform the lives of young people, unlock their potential and raise their aspirations.
However, these children are currently unable to access the online resources being used by schools to maintain an appropriate level of learning during this crisis.
Schools are not only facing an unprecedented demand to engage students through online learning but also the added pressure of ensuring that their students can access these resources".
Please give whatever you can or if you aren't in a position to donate please share this across you social networks
We'd better get running 🏃♂️...
