Getting computers to local children so when school stops, learning doesn’t
Together we have funded more than 50 computers for local schools
Lockdown, school closures and self-isolation has forced school children across Elmbridge to try and continue their education at home.
This sudden switch to online classes and home schooling has put additional pressure on families already struggling to make ends meet. Without access to computers or an internet connection, parents fear their children will fall behind.
Through our Computer for Kids appeal, we have been able to provide 55 laptops and internet connection to help local children access their schoolwork remotely.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the appeal so far. There is still time to donate.
Every £1 given by the local community is matched by Walton Charity.
£300 will fund a school laptop to help a child without a computer to learn at home
£50 will pay for internet connection to enable home learning
£10 will pay for a WiFi pass for a family
Help us ensure ALL children in Elmbridge have access to home learning.
Any surplus funds will be used to support of the work of Elmbridge schools via other means e.g. catch up learning.
““Our priority has been to make sure that all children have the opportunity to get the education they deserve. Unfortunately, many of our children have not had access to laptops. Your generous donation will help the children who need it most to thrive and succeed.””
