The Manchester Evening News is today hosting a Digital Donation Day to help schoolchildren who are struggling to learn from home.
Thousands of youngsters across Greater Manchester are without the devices, data and internet connections to be able to remote learn while schools are closed to all but key worker and vulnerable children.
Some schools and colleges have yet to receive their full promised allocations of devices from the government, but even when they do, it's estimated that 20,000 young people will still be without either a device or data to give them the digital access they'll need.
