PUBLIC INFORMATION PAGES FROM CAMDEN COUNCIL

Camden Council is encouraging businesses to donate spare laptops and iPads for vulnerable students without access to a device at home, to help them access vital online learning while schools are closed.

The Council is also working with schools, community groups and local businesses to find ways to ensure pupils have a Wi-Fi connection in their homes. If a business has laptops or iPads they can donate to a school in Camden that meet some simple criteria, the Council will collect the laptops and work with schools to distribute them to children who most need them.

Companies can also make financial donations and sponsor schools to help purchase or repurpose laptops for students.
