With schools remaining shut to most children in a bid to curb the alarming rise of COVID-19, millions of children are expected to learn digitally. Yet, according to Ofcom, an estimated 9% of children in the UK don t have access to a laptop, desktop, or a tablet at home.
In these unprecedented times, lack of computer access means that many of our most vulnerable children could miss out on their education further entrenching inequalities for families living in poverty.
However, a new campaign spearheaded by The Restart Project seeks to bridge the digital divide by providing children in urgent need with laptops. The London-based technology charity is appealing to Londoners to donate their unused laptops so they can be repaired and distributed to disadvantaged students across the capital.
