A CAMPAIGN to provide disadvantaged school children with laptops and tablets to support home learning is being given firepower thanks to the support of Dorset s firefighters. Weymouth Fire Station has set up Covid-secure drop-off points for anyone wishing to donate a laptop or tablet. The campaign comes as communities up and down the country rally to support home learning for children from low-income families after the pandemic closed schools. Devices can be dropped off at the station, in Radipole Lane, from 6pm-9pm on Mondays. Other stations involved with the initiative are Westbourne Fire Station, in Alumhurst Road, and Poole Fire Station, in Safety Drive.
