Grant Thornton Donate Refurbished Laptops to Local Jersey Schools

Grant Thornton are pleased to share their recent contribution to the local community by donating 24 laptops to Mont Nicolle Primary School and Springfield Primary School. This initiative reflects their commitment to both education and environmental sustainability, as the laptops donated were most recently used by Grant Thornton staff.

Lisa Paul, Headteacher at Mont Nicolle School, expressed her gratitude, saying, "We really appreciate Grant Thornton’s donation. These additional devices will enhance our IT provision and help reduce environmental impact. Extending the life of these devices benefits both our children and staff."

Mal Robson, Headteacher at Springfield School, said, "We are extremely grateful to Grant Thornton for the kind donation of 12 laptops. The laptops will help us ensure more children have access to modern devices to aid their learning."

IT Hardware Services (ITHSCI.com) carried out the work to prepare the Grant Thornton laptops for use, whilst also ensuring the other items were securely destroyed and recycled, keeping the process environmentally friendly. Even the boxes used for the laptop presentation were reused. ITHSCI said, "This highlights our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint." They also added, "We are pleased to have been involved in this initiative and thank the team at Grant Thornton for the opportunity to help make a difference in the community.’’

Adam Budworth, Managing Director at Grant Thornton added, "We are delighted to put something back into the community by donating these laptops to local schools, so children in the island can learn and benefit from enhanced IT resources."

Looking ahead, Grant Thornton plans to continue this effort by recycling 20% of their laptops annually and continuing to donate them to places in Jersey where they can help make a real difference.
