Laptop computers have been donated to a centre for improving IT skills.
American Express has given ten computers to the Study Support Centre set up by Brighton and Hove Albion at Withdean Stadium.
The centre aims to help people acquire basic skills and IT competence to help them into employment or move up the career ladder.
The centre, which opened at the end of January, offers accredited courses in IT skills and courses in literacy and numeracy, all of which are linked to a football theme.
It targets youngsters aged 16 to 19 who have not gone on to further education, training or employment, adults aged 19 and above who need basic skills for employment and parents.
Jo Crockett, spokeswoman for American Express, said: "American Express is keen to support initiatives that facilitate a wider participation in educational achievement for children and adults so we are happy to donate these laptops to such a good cause. Locating a Study Support Centre at the football ground is an innovative way to help the community."
