BOM IT Solutions generously donated 10 HP laptops to YCDT's new 2022 young carers to support them in their studies. We have now had the pleasure of handing them over to the young carers and in their own words, they were ‘delighted’ and ‘chuffed’ to receive them!

BOM donating laptops to young carers A massive thank you to BOM IT Solutions – your support of YCDT as a whole has been amazing and these donated laptops will make a big difference to these extraordinary young people and help them to succeed in their qualifications.

BOM are delighted to be the technology and support partner of YCDT, charity that has huge impact in and around the Bristol area.
