Employees from Harwich Haven Authority were delighted to visit the Open Road SOS bus in Dovercourt to hand over 14 laptops and desk top computers that are no longer required.

The SOS buses are a familiar site in cities and large towns across Essex as they support emergency services with the nighttime economy. In addition, the SOS buses lend support to local clinical services as they are often used to deliver vaccination programmes.

Sarah Wright, CEO, Open Road commented: “The computers will benefit our clients greatly as they will be located both on the SOS buses and in our bases across Essex. They will be invaluable to allow clients to access online opportunities, courses and information. We very much hope that they will improve the quality of life of our clients lives and help them to integrate into local communities as part of their recovery journey.

“A very big thank you to Harwich Haven Authority for supporting Open Road and our clients.”
