× A SCHEME which sees residents donate their old or unwanted laptops so they can be sent to children in need has taken off.
Mark Arnold, 58, of Royston, runs Repair IT For You in Barnsley Market alongside his partner Martin Shepherd, and decided to start the scheme after hearing about children across the country being unable to work from home due to poverty.
The firm began the programme just one week ago but have already repaired around 15 computers and handed them out to children at Outwood Academy Carlton.
Mark told the Chronicle: “I was just sat watching the news and I saw all about how kids were unable to learn from home because they didn’t have a computers due to poverty and a number of other reasons.
