Our Arts & Culture Editor Janie Smith writes about The Dons Local Action Group’s request for laptops to help local children with their at-home learning.

The Dons Local Action Group (DLAG) – the charitable arm of AFC Wimbledon, are working relentlessly to support children in south west London who need a laptop or a tablet to help them keep up with their lessons during these difficult times.

Many families in the borough don’t have access to digital services so they are struggling with school work and keeping in touch with family and friends. Your help could change the lives of these children.

So far, the Dons have delivered devices to ten schools in the area who have identified children without a device. Sadly however, the demand is greater than the number of devices currently available.

Do you have a spare laptop or tablet that you could donate? Are you able to fund the purchase of a device? Your unused digital device could make a hugely positive difference to a child.

If you are able to support this important, local initiative please contact Dom Kelly by email at donate@keepkidsconnected.co.uk or give him a call on 07894488370.
