A Rotary club is calling on people to donate their old laptops so these can be revamped and donated to local schools.
The Rotary Club of Grantham has launched an appeal for old laptops or computers to be handed in and then they will be securely deleted and reset.
Once ready, they will be given to schools in the Grantham area for use either in school or for pupils to use for home schooling, at no charge to the schools.

Grantham book store raises hundreds for good causes throughout Covid-19 pandemic Published: 07:00, 10 January 2021
A community book store in Grantham donated hundreds of pounds to local good causes despite the Covid-19 pandemic having a huge impact on fund-raising efforts.
Nean Asher, who runs Community Books in Welby Street, Grantham, managed to raise hundreds of pounds in 2020 by creating different ways to fund-raise including games, auctions and making gifts.
Charities including Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, Marie Curie, Sands, Beehive community volunteers and Grantham Passage all received donations ranging from money to food and gifts. Grantham Rescue of Cats and Kittens (ROCK) also received £50 worth of cat food to help them through the pandemic.
It has been quite a year since my election to Parliament for the first time. Who could have predicted that just a few months into 2020 we would be faced with a global pandemic?
A virus we had never even heard of one year ago, has completely changed our lives. The risk of contagion left us disconnected from our families, communities and jobs. It left our local businesses and high streets struggling without customers. Our children and young people have missed some of the most formative experiences of their lives in school and higher education.
They say crisis reveals character. In 2020 we saw Britain’s character of compassion come to the fore. Up and down the country people have gone out of their way to help others and Lincolnshire is certainly no exception.
