…there are many examples of the difference that these generous donations can make to so many people. We would like to thank the team at Cool Breeze and their clients who have donated their devices to this cause.
During the pandemic schools were struggling to find enough devices for their children to use at home. Families, too were finding home-schooling and a lack of access to technology, laptops and computers, for their children adding to the stress of supporting their children to learn at home.
During the early part of 2021, the team at Cool Breeze asked clients and local community to help with donations of unwanted laptops and other devices. The response was overwhelming and amazing. To date we have collected, reconfigured and updated over 180 devices that have been distributed to 27 schools across Warwickshire.
This project though, has taken on a life of its own and we now support three local charities with reconfigured laptops for their clients. Young carers, refugees and other families in need have all benefitted from these donations from our lovely customers and local community.
The difference this has made to so many lives cannot be understated. The team at Cool Breeze have decided that the work must go on in some form, so we are committed to give our time and expertise to enable the Gift of Cool Technology to reach those in need.
We recently teamed up with Ricardo plc who kindly donated a number of laptops that have been refreshed and distributed to some of the charities we support. Henry from P3 got in touch to tell us just how critical these donations were to some of the people that P3 supports.
‘We are so delighted to be partnering with the team at Cool Breeze and their clients. We wanted to tell you about some of the clients that your generosity has supported so far. We know that technology is such a huge barrier to so many of our clients. Lack of access to appropriate technology can prevent them from returning to or accessing education, increase feelings of isolation and severely affect mental health and well-being’ Henry Webster P3
What a difference it has made to …
- Two young people in supported accommodation in Nuneaton who are now able to return to education
- One of our clients given a laptop to access e-learning and maintain contact with their family
- A family with children who have learning difficulties have had a donated laptop to help them with their schoolwork
If you have any devices/laptops that you would like to donate to our ‘Gift of Cool Technology’ project we would love to hear from you. We will make sure that the devices are wiped, reconfigured and updated so that they can be safely and securely donated to our (or your) chosen causes.
