Both Corran Integrated Primary School and St Anthony’s Primary School have secured two brand new laptops as a result of the ‘Laptops for Larne’ campaign.
The RUSA Foundation and Brighter Futures, supported by Larne Football Club, launched the appeal in the hope of providing as many children as possible with laptops for educational purposes.

Mrs. Denise MacFarlane, Principal of Corran Integrated Primary School, said: “On behalf of the pupils, parents, staff and Board of Governors at Corran Integrated Primary School, I would like to thank Larne FC for their very generous donation of two new laptops. We will make sure that the devices are put to good use within our school community. In our rapidly changing world, the development of good ICT skills has never been more important: our children will benefit immensely from access to such high-quality technology.”
Ms. Áine Fleming, Principal of St Anthon’s Primary School, added: “We at St Anthony’s Primary School are extremely grateful to Larne Football Club and Brighter Futures for their kind donation of two laptops for families. It is heartening to know that the community in Larne value our children’s education so highly and are willing to support us in ensuring our children have greater access to technology to enhance their learning. Thank you!”
Sandara Kelso-Robb, Brighter Futures Strategic Advisor, said: “Making laptops available will be a long-term programme for us as there will always be a digital gap in the community. If you want to be considered for a laptop, or know of someone in need, please contact me at this address – sandarakelso-robb@larnefc.com.”
