Disadvantaged children in Cumbria could benefit from the donation of a laptop or tablet to help them at home. Over 420 children who do not have access to a digital device that is suitable for remote learning are set to benefit from the scheme. Copeland Borough Council, in partnership with The WELL (Western Excellence in Learning & Leadership) Project, funded by Sellafield Ltd and the NDA, assisted with the co-ordination of purchasing or refurbishing digital devices, or in some cases awarding funding to individual schools to enable purchasing. Primary and secondary schools were approached by the partnership and 28 schools in Copeland identified pupils that were currently disadvantaged and could benefit from the use of a digital device.
