We are proud to be working in partnership with several local organisations to tackle the issue of digital poverty to give laptops and connectivity devices to children who desperately need them. Can you help? https://t.co/3z5ZMkODcF

#DEPBrum, is getting devices and connectivity to children that need it most in this time. But in order to do this, we are reliant on donations to keep helping and supporting. If you can donate, head to the BEP website for the details: https://t.co/819dVIQWtY

Thankyou! To @VodafoneUK for donating sim cards to #DEPBrum so we can provide internet to a number of households needing to access online learning. We know there will be some smiling faces when we get these out!

In the current normal, technology and connectivity are not only educational tools, but also support mental health and socialisation. Pupils can communicate with friends, staff and family outside their own home!
