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.
School Library Improvement Fund
What is it?
The Scottish Library and Information Council has announced that the Scottish Library Improvement Fund (SLIC) has re-opened for applications. School Library Managers in Scottish state schools can apply for funding to support innovative projects in Scotland’s school libraries.
Previously supported include a teenage sensory reading programme in the Highlands and a mental health and wellbeing initiative in Clackmannanshire.
There are no minimum or maximum grant amounts but projects must be completed within twelve months. SLIC accepts up to two applications per local authority.
Every local authority in Scotland has identified a Key Contact for Schools and SLIF applications must be collaborated with them before submission. It is very important that applications are signed by the Key Contact.
How do I get involved?
The deadline for applications is the 30th September 2019. Collaborative bids are welcomed, these may be from two schools or a school and another organisation e.g. the Scottish Book Trust.
Simply contact the team at the School Library Improvement Fund
