In July 2023, Computer Friendly was delighted to supply 5 laptops to Sir John Lawes school as part of its refurbishment scheme.

Chair of Trustees Tony Bourke is pictured with Anita Joseph, Assistant Head of the school who organised the distribution to the most worthy families.

On 4th April 2023, Computer Friendly was delighted to be a part of the Harpenden Trust Seniors Fair at the Eric Morecambe Centre. The event was well attended with a constant stream of visitors throughout the day, and it was wonderful to meet some of our existing clients as well as new ones all looking to improve their digital skills.

On 1st March 2023, a client visited us at the Flamstead drop-in unable to access their email account. Patience and persistence were very much the order of the day.

The Computer Friendly expert said:

‘After a good hour of access codes, security checks & verifying numerous times we were not robots, we successfully recovered an email account for a client at the Flamstead drop-in’

On 7th December, Computer Friendly was delighted to present two refurbished iPads to St Albans and District Foodbank in Redbourn. Like Computer Friendly the foodbank is an award-winning charity helping local people who may be in need.

Sam Rice, Wellbeing and Engagement Co-ordinator at the foodbank, said “We are hoping to supply each of our food banks with an iPad for each team to use to manage our voucher/client system”.

Eyesight is very precious. People fear sight loss more than serious illnesses like diabetes or the loss of a limb. The cost of sight loss to individuals and to society as a whole is vast. Yet eye research is a low priority and as a result is shockingly underfunded.

The Macular Society has made it their responsibility to work to find a cure for this disease. They have a mission to beat the fear and isolation of macular disease by funding world-class research and providing the best advice and support.
