Last summer local BBC radio stations helped members of the public donate thousands of old laptops and tablets for schoolchildren to use across England. For those pupils, who were sharing phones at home while learning in lockdown, it made a huge difference.

With schools closed again, were once more asking you to help those pupils still in need and we are working to join the dots between your devices and the children who may need them the most. We are sharing details of companies and charities who can help us achieve our aim of getting devices to pupils.

Some charities can collect, wipe and share the laptops all in one; some can help take your devices off your hands to fix them ready for distribution; some are collecting donations to help fund devices for pupils; some are local to specific areas and some are nationwide, both across England and the UK.

Since launching our latest campaign, with your help, weve had over 17,500 device donations and 30,000 devices have been pledged by businesses. There has also been £700,535 donated to charities and schools, from local businesses, trusts, individuals and foundations as a result of the campaign.
