Do you have an old laptop that you no longer need?
If yes, why not donate it to help support a child’s online learning?
In the next two weeks, we are asking for donations of laptops in good condition, that we will collect and trade-in to buy new laptops to help children in our borough who don’t have their own computer at home for online learning.
Our Council has already provided more than 300 laptops through the “Laptops for Learning” scheme but more devices are needed, as during this lockdown more children in our borough struggle to learn from home.
If you wish to donate, please note the following:
Laptops condition
The laptop(s) you are donating should be in good condition, with no damage to keys or casing and with a power supply.
- Please delete any personal data (e.g. documents, photos) from the laptop(s) donated.
- Pick-up – to avoid non-essential journey, we will pick up your donated devices from your home or business address in our borough.
To arrange the collection, go to Laptop collection survey
- Pick a convenient slot (either morning or afternoon) when you would like us to come and collect your device(s)
- Ensure your donated device(s) is inside a plastic bag ( to protect from weather conditions), with a label stating ‘For collection by TWC’.
- The bag needs to be placed on your doorstep ready for collection (from 8.30am, for AM pickup slot and from 12.30pm, for PM pickup slot)
- Should you have any issues/ concerns around your collection slot or if you want to change/cancel it after your booking, please email laptopcollection@telford.gov.uk
We are accepting only laptops for donations (and not other devices such as ipads, tablets) as we can only trade-in laptops for brand new devices that will be given to children who need them.
THANK YOU!
