Normally associated with providing vital food packages to those who need them most, the Kersiebank Community Project (KCP), based in La Porte Precinct, Grangemouth, has branched out into the world of technology and managed to secure 10 computers, complete with desks and chairs, to give to those families who need them most during the current COVID-19 lockdown.

A project spokesperson said: “Please private message us on Facebook to tell us why your family needs one of these computer sets. We shall take all comments to committee and then distribute the computers to the most needy.”

The computers come complete with a 19 inch screen, keyboard, mouse and a Windows 10 operating system with a link to free Microsoft 365 web based office apps.
