Rotary club delivers dozens of laptops to schools in Forfar
More than 50 devices have been handed out to pupils in the Angus town
Surplus laptops and tablets are being put into the hands of primary schoolkids in Angus.
The Rotary Club of Forfar has dropped off more than 50 devices over the last few weeks.
It's been assisted by an IT repair shop in the town, Computerden, which has fitted replacement parts for the devices free of charge.
Jim McCluskey is heading up the project, he says it's a quick turnaround from donation to drop off.
"It's very much a now thing. We'll keep on doing it as long as the schools say to us it helps their learning," he said.
"So far we've been given over 50 laptops and tablets, 10 of which were brand new, which were donated by the Salvation Army to give to the children."
Strathmore Primary's one of the schools to benefit, P7 pupil Kara Tasker says it helps her learning.
"Sometimes people have to work online, especially during lockdown. The school has provided some people with chrome books because they don't have online devices," she said.
"Technology is becoming a bigger part of our lives, so learning it in primary school is a big help."
The students will be able to take the devices home with them after the school day.
Classmate Gabi Szynaszek, said: "I think it's a big help because you can practice things at home that you're learning at school, and play games to aid your learning.
"We were pretty excited when the laptops first arrived, we were all really thankful."
Headteacher Jennifer Garnes said: "I was over the moon when the Rotary Club phoned me to tell me they had an abundance of IT equipment for our learners.
"It makes the students feel included, which is so important to us at Strathmore."
