Follow our exciting journey as we work with our Charity Partners Venture Arts, and other charities to raise money and awareness for incredible causes.
Turing Trust IT Donation
We recently made a donation of old / unused IT equipment to The Turing Trust including 9 boxes of wired keyboards, mice, monitor cables and desk top machines. Because of our donation, 432 students will now be able to learn vital IT skills. Beyond this, the environmental impact from our donation will offset 7 tonnes of CO2 emissions which is the equivalent of planting 17 trees. The embodied energy savings created are also enough to power 2 UK homes for a year as well.
