South Swindon MP Robert Buckland is calling for businesses and residents in Swindon to donate unused laptops to his Local Laptop Scheme.
Robert began the scheme in January 2021, in addition to supporting Swindon schools to ensure that they were able to take advantage of the Government’s “Get Help With Technology Scheme.”
Since the scheme began, residents and local companies have been generously donating unused or unwanted devices to local businesses, SP Computers, and Excalibur Communications. The hardworking teams at both firms have been busy refurbishing these devices and getting them ready for use.
The green scheme has seen school pupils from many schools across the town benefit from donated devices and helped to reduce landfills.
In May 2021, the successful scheme was extended, with local charities also benefiting from refurbished devices.
Robert explained:
“I am extremely grateful to all of those local residents and businesses who have donated devices; not to mention the brilliant teams at SP Computers and Excalibur, who have stepped up at such a difficult time, and repaired hundreds of devices.
“We still have a list of local charities who need devices, so I am calling for local residents and businesses who may have unused or unwanted laptops to get in touch so that we can put these to good use.”
If you would like to donate a laptop to the scheme, please get in touch with Robert by emailing [email protected] or ring 01793 533393.
