RecycleIT have continued to support Accrington Stanley in the Community as part of our Sustainability pledge to give our chosen charities access to people who need it the most.
Our most recent donation saw us refurbish a number of units for the club extending the life span whilst also educating the trust around sustainability and how to get the most out of their IT equipment. We also had our design team fit some one of one skins onto the laptops which not only protects the value of the units but also offers a unique spin on the laptops for all the students on the BTEC course
Sam Morris, education officer said ‘The laptops are crucial to the students BTEC assignment work on our football college programme. Their workload can be quite heavy using a number of online formats and offline such as Microsoft word, PowerPoint, publisher, etc, as well as having to upload/download video evidence as part of their practical assignments. The laptops are used in total for at least 5 hours per day, which allows our theory lessons to run smoothly.
RecycleIT also gave us some good advice on the maintaining and general upkeep of the laptops to ensure they are long lasting and do their job for a number of years to come. Last year it was often the case that our students would bicker/argue about which were the ‘best’ laptops to use and would waste copious amounts of time trying to sort out the older ones. With a little TLC from you guys at Recycle IT we now don’t have this problem at all and its removed a big headache for myself and the other tutors here at Accrington Stanley Community Trust football college.
