RotherFed buys tablets to set digital example

ROTHERFED will buy 14 tablet computers for its board members in a move expected to save hundreds of pounds a year.

The charity — representing Rotherham’s tenants and residents groups — expects to cut paper and printing costs by at least £833 over three years.

Chairman Pat Cahill said: “Not only does going online save us money for meetings on staff time, photocopying and postage bills it is also good for the environment.”

Development manager Steve Ruffle added: “We are the lead body for the Rotherham Digital Inclusion Network and it’s only right that we now set the example.”

RotherFed will continue to print posters, newsletters and other documents for the community groups it represents.
