Weʼve raised £1,439 to buy equipment for children at The Eastwood Academy who don't have the digital technology at home to be able to access remote learning.
- Funded on Friday, 7th May 2021

Story
You've probably seen on the news that there are lots of children in the UK who can't access home learning because they don't have the required technology at home.
I know that this is impacting children at my own school, so I contacted Mr Houchen (Head Teacher) and suggested that I could start a fund raiser to purchase some devices for families that need them.
He confirmed that the Government have committed to assisting schools with providing access to technology, although this may not fully meet the need. He was happy for me to reach out to the local community to try to raise funds to address this issue.
Please donate if you're able to. One tablet can be purchased for approximately £100, so we could make a real difference to lots of families if we reached our target.
All funds raised will be passed directly to The Eastwood Academy to use towards digital technology for pupils who most need it.
Thank you,
Daisy Lawrence.

3 years agoThank you all SO much for helping to reach this target! I am utterly amazed at everyone's support and generosity! Last night I ordered 8 tablets (Samsung Galaxy A8 tablets) - the best price we could find was £128.00 from AO.com. They are being delivered on Sunday (17th) and I will then take them into school. I will keep this page open for donations, and if there is enough to buy any more tablets then I will do so. If not, I'll donate any residual funds to the school. Many thanks again for your kindness, Daisy.
