digital inclusion 

Having access to the internet is something many of us take for granted.

 

However, in the digital age, not having access to the internet can prevent people who have newly arrived in the UK from navigating their new areas, call the services they need, accessing education and healthcare, or searching for jobs. It is also essential for staying in touch with loved ones.

​

We collect and repair second-hand phones, laptops, and tablets from individuals and companies, before redistributing them to forcibly displaced people in the UK.

 

Since launching the project 2022, we have supported over 350 households to get online.

looking to BOOST YOUR SUSTAINABILITY?

We often partner with companies that are seeking to reduce their environmental impact and e-waste. It's a win-win solution and takes the hassle out of recycling company tech.

 

All tech that's donated to us is securely wiped using YouWipe data-erasure software, repaired, and redistributed alongside data-loaded SIM cards to digitally excluded displaced people across the UK. We provide complete data erasure certificates for every device.​​​ We are proud to be a Youwipe Gold Partner for our commitment to secure data erasure.

​

If you have tech that needs recycling and is beyond the point of repair, we recycle it with ToRecycle and provide data destruction certificates for each device.

​

We provide an impact report, showing where tech has been distributed and the big impact it has made on a human level, which can be a great thing to share with your team.

Unlocking Opportunities:
The Crucial Role of Digital Inclusion for Refugees

I received the laptop sent from you yesterday and it was one of the most useful services I have received. I started working on it, and it is in good condition and meets my needs for it, but my daughter’s reaction when we got it was much greater than I can describe.
 
She is now more than happy because she shares the laptop for her homework and school work. 

I wanted to thank you very much for the  phone you were able to provide me. It has been very useful because I did not know how to communicate, or how to practice English. Yesterday I began to practice the language on an application and I know that it will be of great help for my one-to-one English classes.

 

The phone was also important to me since I was able to communicate directly with my mommy and my sisters.

It did not take long until a phone was secured and it was delivered to me personally. After I got the phone everything changed.
​​
It is now easy for me to communicate with my family and with the English language teacher as well, which I was enrolled in her class through this wonderful organisation.
