Harrogate Apple repair shop donates 60 iPads to local schoolchildren
An Apple repair shop in Harrogate has refurbished 60 iPads and donated them to local schoolchildren.
Howard Conrad on Leeds Road launched an appeal in January for faulty devices after staff read news reports about parents not having the technology for children to study from home during lockdown.
The shop's team of technicians has been busy over the past couple of months bringing the iPads back to life.
They have now been donated to schools that are part of the Red Kite Learning Trust, a charitable company that operates several schools in the district, including Harrogate Grammar School, Western Primary School and Rossett Acre Primary School.
