Northern Ireland funeral homes donate tablets so schools and care homes can stay connected with loved ones and learning

Funeral directors across Northern Ireland donated computer tablets to help care home residents and schoolchildren stay connected with their families and their learning during lockdown restrictions.

Funeral Partners ordered the Amazon Fire 7 tablets for each of the 17 funeral homes in Northern Ireland to donate to their local communities as they saw fit for Random Acts of Kindness Day.

For those individuals in care homes who may not be too familiar with the benefits of modern technology, the donations have greatly enhanced their lives, helping them to keep in touch with their loved ones and giving them the opportunity to enjoy music and watch videos.

Teams across Northern Ireland are already making plans for Random Acts of Kindness Day 2022.
