Rather than disposing the old equipment, staff members were given the option to purchase one of the older laptops and asked to make a donation to the charity “Steps to Hope”.

In total, staff raised £900 for the charity – in addition, we gifted a further four redundant laptops and 2 surface pro’s to the charity for their use.

Steps to Hope founder & director Richie Roncero, commented we are so grateful to Manor Estates for their generous donation of £900 and for the laptops. These will be great for those within our residential recovery programs.

Claire Ironside, CEO at Manor Estates, commented: “I am delighted that we were able raise so much money for the Steps to Hope and I am sure the donation and the equipment will come in useful. Steps to Hope is an excellent charity, and we are very happy to support the work that they do.”
