The Rotary clubs of Bridport and Brit Valley have put out an urgent request for laptops and tablets that aren't being used.

Due to the ongoing pandemic and school pupils learning at home, the clubs are appealing for the donation of surplus laptops and tablets.

The equipment will be distributed to pupils at local schools who do not have the necessary equipment to access distance learning.

The minimum specification is:

• Laptops should be reset to factory settings and run Windows 10 or have Microsoft Office apps installed on them. This is to ensure students are able to access the required software.

· Portable devices with wifi enabled are preferable for ease of use at home.

· If you are donating a desktop, please ensure the device also has a monitor, keyboard and mouse.

• Tablets and iPads should be less than three-years-old

If you can help, email [email protected] for further details and how to donate.
