Children’s charity Barnardo’s is to receive a delivery of laptops after its corporate
partner has upgraded its IT equipment.

The items, which are in perfect working order, are being donated to more than 100
schools and charities around the UK, including Barnardo’s, and are worth around 
£100,000.

Allan McLaren, Barnardo’s Assistant Director of Fundraising said: “When at home 
some of our most disadvantaged young people, particularly those not in employment,
education or training, do not have the means to look for jobs, draft CVs or improve
their IT skills. These laptops will help make that possible. Giving them equipment
which allows them to become more proactive really will make a massive difference
to the life chances of some of the UK’s most vulnerable children and young people.”
