GAMES Workshop co-founder Ian Livingstone CBE has donated £30,000 to help gift schoolchildren in Bournemouth with computers.
The Fighting Fantasy author donated the sum through his foundation to provide youngsters without PCs with the technology to help them with online learning.
More than 100 children have benefitted so far with 132 computers allocated, and the kit also includes webcams and support to set up. A further batch of 43 computers are in the process of being distributed.
Mr Livingstone, who is set to open the Livingstone Academy in Bournemouth this September, collaborated with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which reached out to the local YMCA to ensure the computer kits supplied were handed out to the children who needed them most.
