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.
Foyle Foundation - Schools Library Scheme
Here's another excellent grant funding opportunity for schools.
The Foyle Schools Library Scheme
The Foyle schools library programme recognises that there is no statutory requirement for schools to have a library and that many school libraries are in a desperate situation through under funding and under development. Encouraging children to read widely from an early age will provide a major boost to improving literacy levels, which is a current key educational objective.
Priority will be given to funding library/reading books. Some funding towards e-readers can be considered if a justifiable need is presented. The Foundation will also consider contributions towards library software, necessary IT equipment and furniture etc. in order to create a suitable library space.
Preference will be given to schools which can clearly demonstrate that their library can be maintained and renewed in the future. The foundation is keen to support schools that are working in partnership with other local primary/secondary schools to improve reading standards.
The application form and guidelines for the Foyle School Library Scheme are available by clicking here
