With schools closing and children having to be educated at home during lockdown, Richmond Rugby Club will once again offer a second-hand tech drop-off point at the club every Saturday.

The club will have a drive-through drop-off point at the entrance of the Richmond Athletic Ground every Saturday from 11am to 1pm for anyone who wishes to donate laptops or tablets to support families and their children who do not have the necessary technology at home to continue their schooling.

The laptops/tablets will then be professionally wiped clean and reloaded with updated software before being donated to local schools for distribution to children throughout the community.

When: Every Saturday from 11am to 1pm.

Where: The main entrance to the Richmond Athletic Ground, Twickenham Road, TW9 2SF.

The club will be operating a drive-through service only so please remain in your car when dropping-off tech.
