A leading Cumbrian employer has set up a scheme to help its employees home school their children.
H&H Group has launched its Buy a Laptop Scheme, which will give £150 of financial assistance to those employees who need additional support to purchase these technological necessities for their children.
It is from the H&H Group Employees’ Trust.
Dawn Harrison, non-executive director on the board of H&H Group, said: “H&H is a community, not just a group of staff and employees.
“This lockdown has been so hard for so many, and we wanted to do something tangible that could really make a difference.
“So, when the trust heard that some in our community found they did not have the right technology when it came to home schooling, we were more than happy to help.
“This is aimed at those who have children being home-schooled and may be unable to afford yet another device in their homes, or have one that is way past it’s best and not up to the job.
“If necessary, we also provide support for the remainder of the costs, which can be borrowed directly from the group at no interest.”
