Having already provided a Sharp multifunction device on a managed print service to take care of the charity’s print needs, Midshire has now donated a 32- inch Interactive Touch Screen Table for use by children going through treatment. Denise Henderson, General Manager of LATCH, said: “As children spend so much time on Rainbow Ward, often in isolation, it’s very important to keep them occupied and entertained. This generous donation from Midshire has been a massive hit with the children on the ward, not to mention our ward-based Support Worker. It’s provided hours of joy and distraction.” www.midshire.co.uk www.latchwales.org Onecom sponsors Portsmouth FC Hampshire-based telecommunications provider Onecom has signed a five-year contract with Portsmouth Football Club.
