💚 The Charity Trust have donated 27 laptops to the YMCA Fairthorne Group in Southampton! These will go to the young adults who live in their supported accommodation who, due to various circumstances, do not have anywhere else safe to live.

Laptops are key for young adults in helping to bridge education gaps, facilitate online courses, and assist with job applications and CV creation.
This gift will enable them to pursue educational opportunities, enhance their employability, and develop crucial life skills, fostering their journey towards independence and stability.

YMCA Fairthorne Group supports 160 young adults at risk of homelessness, aged 18-30, many of whom have experienced traumatic childhoods and lack access to technology. The organisation’s spirit, support and dedication will ensure that these laptops have a huge impact on their residents’ ability to achieve their educational and career goals, ultimately improving their prospects for future employment.

And as an added bonus: the laptops will be maintained by the YMCA Fairthorne Group’s own in-house IT department – a sustainable solution that will also provide ongoing support to their members! ♻️
