Story
Recent school closures due to covid ruin the risk of negatively impacting the most vulneralbe children in our community because they have no access to the equipment and software to complete homeschooling effectively. I am sure we would all like to think this problem does not exist in our community, but it does and without your help there is a group of children who will not be considered under the government support program.
Marlow is a wealthy community, it has a range of businesses who continue to prosper, so please join me in working to ensure equality of education for all in these difficult times. If you help with fund raising I will seek to source suitable computer equipment and provide it to the schools who can then loan this to the relevant families until schooling in a normal fashion can operate safely again.

3 years agoThe first deliveries are coming in, but we still have some way to go. If you have yet to share this page please do so, the more people we can contact the better chance we have of covering the needs of every family that is currently struggling with no ability to engage with the homeschooling we take for granted.

3 years agoEvery single school is delighted with the support, the contributions from everyone is going to make a big difference for these families and prevent the children from being omitted from the education tools we all take for granted. Thank you to everyone who has contributed, but please, if you can take five minutes to share further afield and drive additional support that would be fantastic as I know next week I have another school I am speaking with and this will require additional input to permit coverage of every family and child impacted.

3 years agoHello Everyone, We have Chromebooks, laptops and dongles ordered for three schools and another school is providing me with their needs next week. Currently, the expenditure is projecting to be more than the fundraised, so any help sharing and gathering further support would be greatly appreciated.
