Rob collected laptops in lockdown for disadvantaged kids
Rob Franks from Poole is one of the finalists for the Morning Live Community Award in ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Solent's Make a Difference Awards for 2024. This is for people who have helped to genuinely change the lives of others within their community.
"Since Covid Rob has been fundraising and collecting old laptops to give to disadvantaged children to allow them to work from home, especially those with special educational needs who find schooling difficult in the local area of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Rob has repaired over 600 laptops all repaired from his own pocket."
The Make a Difference Awards are your chance to say βThank Youβ and show recognition and appreciation for people who love to make life better for others. Nominations for the 2024 awards have now closed and finalists have been selected by a panel of judges. The winners will be announced at our ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Solent Make a Difference Awards ceremony in September.
