If you or your firm has redundant technology or can offer new technology, please help the PFS achieve our aim of delivering 10,000 computers to help children whose education has been impacted by Covid-19.

Schools require Windows laptops, tablets, Google Chromebooks and Apple iPads that meet the minimum specifications to enable children to access remote learning. For more information visit: www.computers-4-schools.co.uk

  2. Ensure the device is data-wiped.
  3. Send your equipment to: Computers4Schools, c/o Lloyd’s, One Lime Street, London EC3M 7HA.
