A sensational £1.25million in a single day was raised for Mail Force to help lockdown pupils yesterday.
Online fashion retailer Boohoo pledged a whopping £750,000 towards the ambitious campaign to get schoolchildren online. And a further £500,000 arrived from a generous benefactor who requested to remain anonymous.
On top of that, donations from Mail readers continued to flood in, including cheques and letters from retired teachers inspired to help the Computers for Kids drive.
It was the most successful fundraising day yet in an already phenomenal week. Some of Britain’s leading companies have thrown their weight behind the campaign, sending either cash or laptop computers.
