Dear Parents & Carers,

 

The Norfolk Assistance Scheme has acquired funding from DEFRA  to address digital exclusion in Norfolk.  The money has been earmarked to supply lap tops for a certain remit:-

 

• For school work
• Looking for work
• Maintaining UC claim
• Engaging in virtual support
• Effected by isolation/loneliness
• Disability

 

Please see the attached FAQs sheet about this scheme but  the main points to consider are:-

 

• NAS would prefer if the application is made by a professional on behalf of the family if at all possible.
• The Family would have to meet the NAS criteria to qualify. Specifically to have less than £500 in savings and be able to provide bank statements. Please see https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/care-support-and-health/support-for-living-independently/money-and-benefits/norfolk-assistance-scheme  for eligibility criteria and the portal to make an application.

If anyone would like to discuss this further then please contact Carl Harris on 01553763679 or 07788953408.

 

Kind Regards 

Churchill Park Academy
