Laptop donations to Mahdlo to support online learning Date published: 16 March 2021 The Mahdlo Youth Zone in Oldham Young people at Mahdlo Youth Zone in Oldham received a boost today when laptops were donated by online electrical retailer AO to support their online learning. The centre is a part of OnSide Youth Zones Network, which operates 18 youth zones across the UK. Although schools have re-opened, many young people are still facing periods of home learning, due to self-isolation and other factors.
As youth centres are considered an essential service, they have been able to remain open and offer targeted support to restricted numbers of young people face to face throughout current lockdown restrictions.
