Watford based BrightHouse, the UK’s leading rent to own retailer is working in partnership with Centerprise International Limited, an approved Becta supplier to participate in the Home Access programme.
This is a Government-backed initiative through which some 270,000 eligible low income families in England will be offered grants for a home computer and internet access.
Customers who have successfully applied will then be able to arrange the delivery of their free computer and broadband package from one of BrightHouse’s 150 English stores.
Alan Pascoe, BrightHouse Category Manager for Technology said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Centerprise, which is allowing us to be able to offer members of the community our stores are based in the ability to own the latest Acer Netbook and broadband package.
”This amazing opportunity will allow families access to the internet and all the educational advantages it offers.”
