Vision Direct donates laptops for home learning

Over £10,000 worth of laptops have been donated by Vision Direct to vulnerable children who are being home schooled during lockdown.

A total of 50 laptops were delivered to six schools in London who distributed them to families that needed them most.

Vision Direct said that although the government has supplied laptops to schools in England, it had not been able to meet demand and waiting lists were long.

Ashley Mealor, chief marketing officer at Vision Direct, said: ‘It’s vital that everyone has access to laptops during this pandemic. Like countless others, we’ve made the switch to operating remotely and our business would not have been able to continue functioning without the proper technology to keep us connected. We want to ensure that all children have that technology too, as they battle the challenges of remote learning.’
