Recycled laptops help young get online

TWO hundred recycled laptops are being distributed this month to young people who would otherwise not have one, thanks to a partnership between DVLA and Swansea Council.

The DVLA donates refurbished digital equipment it no longer needs to local authorities for redistribution.

Launched in 2021, the scheme has enabled DVLA to become one of the first signatures to sign the UK Government's IT Reuse for Good charter, which promotes refurbishing IT devices to encourage greater digital inclusion.

The scheme supports the growth of vital digital skills for all and helps to ensure that young people aren't faced with digital exclusion.
