Since Get Online London launched in 2022, over 370 community organisations and local authorities, known as Digital Inclusion Hubs, have received free devices to distribute into their communities. This has ensured that, so far, over 25,000 digitally excluded Londoners have been able to receive a gifted device alongside a free SIM card and digital skills support should they need it. Having access to a device, data and skills support means that thousands of Londoners are able to feel less isolated, access essential services, manage their health and finances online or improve their employability prospects.
However, demand for devices continues to outstrip supply and we know that there are more organisations out there that could be donating their decommissioned IT assets. Could you be one of them?
