2025 will see Soltech IT continue to donate IT equipment to school's throughout the Southwest as part of our 'Giving Back To Schools' donation campaign.
We were delighted to be able to donate more than £15,000 of 65" and 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreens to six local schools and MAT's.
Gareth Jones, commented "As a business it's great to be able to give something back to schools, be they a customer or not. Our most recent donations have helped transform the learning environments of pupils which is something we are very proud of."
These most recent donations have not only included a 65" or 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreen, the schools have also received WiFi module upgrades, Android functionality, wall mounting brackets and relevant cables, plus delivery, removal / WEEE disposal of old equipment, installation and training, all as part of Soltech IT's donation.
That's around a £3,000 donation at each school or MAT.
Mental Health Training for Secondary School Teachers
The government has launched a £200,000 fund to improve mental health support for children and young people.
Every secondary school in England is entitled to a place on the training programme, which will run until 2020. The programme will be delivered by the social enterprise Mental Health First Aid (MHFA).
Teachers will be equipped with practical advice to identify and respond to early signs of mental health issues in children. They will also be invited to become ‘first aid champions’, sharing their knowledge and experiences across schools and communities to raise awareness and break down stigma and discrimination.
How do I get involved?
Simply contact the team at MHFA.
Full details can be accessed on the MHFA website. You can also access free downloadable resources for your school from the MHFA website.
