Street Champions in the Divinity Road Residents Association (DRARA) area are asking people to donate the equipment which is vital to remote learning.

Teacher Helen Grant with students and the time capsule
Old Hall School in Wellington gathered all its pupils outside socially-distanced in their bubbles so they could come together as a community for the special ceremony.
The capsule included emotive and historic items from 2020 including a version of the face shields pupils made for NHS frontline workers at the height of the pandemic and a knitted rainbow.
The project is all the more poignant for the school after their 2020 year six leavers gifted the capsule to the school as part of a farewell present.
