Laptop donations help schoolchildren South Molton business FHS Computers has stepped in to refurbish laptops (pictured right) that have been donated to be given to local schoolchildren in need. “We decided to help when we discovered that some of our local schools weren’t covered by national donation schemes,” said Stuart Godfrey, who runs Fort House Systems in East Street and lives in North Molton. “We live and work locally, and it makes sense to support local schools as much as we can. As a parent myself, I understand all too well the importance of computers during lockdown and especially home-schooling.”
If you have an old laptop or tablet that you no longer need and you would like to donate, please phone 01769 574603 or email: support@forthouse.com to arrange a dropoff, as the shop in East Street is currently closed due to Covid-19 restrictions.
The response has been overwhelming, and so far they have supplied computers to South Molton United C of E Primary, North Molton Primary and Bishops Nympton Primary schools. All donated machines are tested thoroughly and securely erased, to make sure no old information remains. The most useful computer models to donate are laptops, followed by Chromebooks and tablets (but preferably not desktop PCs).
