Do you have an old laptop or computer you can donate?
Local education charity, Hounslow’s Promise is working with local schools and MPs to help provide computers or laptops to local school pupils needing to study at home who don’t have access to a computer or the internet. We estimate around 1,000 children in Hounslow need support.
Do you have an old laptop or computer you can donate? Accessories e.g. charger cables, keyboards, mouse are also needed.
If so, please email info@hounslowspromise.org Include your name, address, telephone number and details of the computer e.g. a laptop, PC, Mac or Chromebook.
The computers can be collected from you or dropped off at drop-off points. Computers will be cleaned down, safety tested and re-imaged before schools pass on to children and families. The project is also being supported by local businesses.
