The annual Reigate & Banstead Volunteer Awards made a triumphant return on Tuesday evening (21 September), with dozens of volunteers being recognised for their efforts to support the community.

Level Up was one of the winners of the Crisis Response award. The Level Up campaign was started by Town Councillor Martin Saunders at the start of the first lockdown. By taking in donated used equipment he was able to recycle them, allowing local children to have computers giving them access to online school lessons.

This recycling of equipment has now spread across the Borough and other volunteers have helped to overhaul donated equipment. Over 1,100 donated unwanted laptops have been gifted to disadvantaged children and teenagers
