David Curtis

The trust was developed from the concern of David Curtis, who was just 17 years old when he died suddenly in July 2000.

His battle against ill-health won the admiration of all those who knew him, and because he was deprived of much of his high school education , nevertheless he was able to study at home because he had access to computing facilities and enabled him to continue although he was not well enough to attend college of further education.

He was well aware that his fellow students had difficulty learning as they did not have access to the facilities that he had at home. The Trust was developed from David's concern for others and is dedicated to his memory.

Who does the trust aim to help ?

Students living in East or North Norfolk or North East Suffolk who :

1. Would benefit from having computing facilities at home

2. Are unable to purchase the equipment themselves due to financial restraints

3. Find learning is more difficult due to health problems

How does the Trust help ?

The Trust offers computing equipment on medium term loan whilst beneficiaries are studying.

The equipment comprises :

Laptop computer

Printer

Carrying case

Appropriate software

Internet access
