Grant Thornton have recently donated 24 laptops to Mont Nicolle Primary School and Springfield Primary School.
The laptops donated were recently used by Grant Thornton staff.
Lisa Paul, Headteacher at Mont Nicolle School, expressed her gratitude, saying: “We really appreciate Grant Thornton’s donation. These additional devices will enhance our IT provision and help reduce environmental impact. Extending the life of these devices benefits both our children and staff.”
Mal Robson, Headteacher at Springfield School, said: “We are extremely grateful to Grant Thornton for the kind donation of 12 laptops. The laptops will help us ensure more children have access to modern devices to aid their learning.”
IT Hardware Services carried out the work to prepare the Grant Thornton laptops for use, whilst also ensuring the other items were securely destroyed and recycled, keeping the process environmentally friendly. Even the boxes used for the laptop presentation were reused. A spokesperson from IT Hardware Services said: “This highlights our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint. We are pleased to have been involved in this initiative and thank the team at Grant Thornton for the opportunity to help make a difference in the community.’’
Adam Budworth, Managing Director at Grant Thornton added: “We are delighted to put something back into the community by donating these laptops to local schools, so children in the island can learn and benefit from enhanced IT resources.”
