MAKE A DIFFERENCE Green Arrow

C2 IT’s Digital Inclusion Program

C2 IT has pledged to redistribute 10% of all working laptops to schoolchildren in your local community. All redistributed laptops will be data cleansed, refurbished and redistributed through BBC’s “Make a Difference” appeal.

Make A Difference Appeal

C2 IT have teamed up with partners of BBC radio’s “Make A Difference” appeal, to donate laptops through BBC certified and approved charities and community services to local school children.

Impact of Digital Exclusion

Lockdown maybe easing and schoolchildren have returned to classes, however the digital divide still exists as UK’s poorest and most vulnerable. They will feel the effects from the catastrophic loss of education and opportunity brought on by Coronavirus and driven by digital exclusion for decades to come. The public health crisis has driven the impact of digital exclusion across millions of schoolchildren in the UK clearly highlighting the link between poverty and digital exclusion – the poorest being impact the most.

Redistribution

If your company doesn’t have a local community preference, the laptops will be redistributed through the Epson & Ewell Foodbank.

Closing the Digital Divide

C2 IT has already played a part in redistributing over 300 laptops to local schools and charities with our partners of the BBC “Make A Difference” appeal.

Impacting the lives of local school children

“Thank you for keeping me up to date with the work that you and the team have been doing to support children and young people in Surrey, by providing digital devices to help them in their education. To hear that 300 devices have already been provided through local schools was fantastic news and to learn more about your plans for making the project sustainable in future, even better. Congratulations to everyone involved in this tremendous effort to collect, clean, update, test and hand on these important tools for learning.” Mary Lewis – Cabinet Member for Children – County Councillor – Cobham
