Network Rail has kickstarted a national laptop for schools volunteer programme which aims to donate at least 8,000 refurbished laptops to schools across Britain to support children learning at home and reduce waste. The first school to benefit was St. Willibrord's R.C.

Over 70 children took delivery of their laptop last week, with more devices due to be given to pupils in the coming days.
