Somerset Bridge Group has donated 50 laptops to Dynamo, the region's largest tech sector network.

The devices will be given to Sunderland City Council's digital inclusion team, which will distribute them to residents and community groups who need access to digital technology.

The council is also supporting Dynamo this year in hosting the annual North East Tech Charity Dinner, which will take place at The Fire Station on Thursday.
