We want to say a huge well done to all the kids who are working hard to keep on top of their homework and learning. We hope you are all very proud of yourselves!
Thanks Yusra Shenea Adam Nikola Davina and Nadia for your beautiful letters too, they made our day ✨
@TivertonN15
Digital isolation is just as big an issue as it was during the pandemic lockdowns.
@gmail we have been unable to resume our work for 2 years, due to your broken account recovery process. Your team have just hung up on us too. Unacceptable!
We hope to be back online soon.
Lots of folk working in tech here - shoot a message to one of your Slack / Teams channels and ask for leftover totes. We know you have them 😏
Send them to the wonderful Magpie Project!

Prisons: for nearly a year, i've been planning & pitching a prison documentary about rehabilitation & school to prison pipeline especially kids with ADHD/dyslexia(like me)
- Last week, whilst directing an international doc- I was told my access has been denied by the government

We're urging the government to:
🚫 Remove police from schools
👮 End the police’s power to strip search children
💷 Fund pastoral, mental health and youth service provision in schools

Incredibly important to reach people in the Manston detention camp with access to communication!

Absolutely this. We are seeing a continued increased need for devices as many still remain offline
Just a reminder that just because pupils are back in school, this doesn't mean that the UK's digital access problems are miraculously solved.
Many people are still in need.

🇵🇸 Palestine coming up in your classroom? 🇵🇸
We've got some advice 🧵
1/ Colonialism, empire, nationalism, capitalism, racism, fascism, antisemitism and islamophobia will come up and are part of the story of how Palestine came to be and continues to be colonised.
So pleased to be able to support @kmewo and all their incredible work, with the last of the @goustocooking donated laptops 💛
Our work is powered by these thoughtful company donations. Don't forget to reach out to your IT team and ask "can we do more with our retired devices?"
