SMY IT donates laptop to charity supporting deaf children and young adults

SMY IT is delighted to be supporting Phoenix Group – a charity working to support deaf children and young adults in Hertfordshire.

The charity provides activities, British Sign Language, life skills and deaf awareness training for hundreds of children with hearing loss.

The charity, which is affiliated to the National Deaf Children’s Society, had realised its laptops were becoming a bit outdated, so put the call out for donations of IT equipment.

On finding out about the charity’s request for help, Jonathan Smy, Managing Director at SMY IT, was happy to help, donating a brand-new Dell Inspiron laptop, with expert assistance in setting it up.

Jonathan, said: “Phoenix Group do incredible work supporting deaf children and young adults, so when I discovered they were in need of laptops, I was delighted to help.

“I wish them all the best in the future and hope our donation goes a little way in helping children and young people in the area.”

A spokesperson for Phoenix Group said: “The Phoenix Group for Deaf Children and Young Adults are a Hertfordshire based charity for young people with a hearing loss and their families.

“Deafness can be extremely impactful and the charity work to reduce loneliness, isolation and provide fun and educational opportunities for their young members.

“The charity’s fundraising has been particularly challenging over the past few years and a much-needed donation of a laptop has meant that we can use our funding to directly support our members, rather than need to spend it on IT equipment.

“Many thanks to SMY IT Services for your kind donation and support to the charity.”
