Another generous donation has arrived this morning, this time from Hi-Way services Ltd of Canterbury in Kent. We've already started work on them and we will get them to people who need them as soon as possible.

Thank you Hi-Way. Plenty to keep us busy for sure!

We've done a check of recent donations and with your fantastic generosity we've been able to buy some more phones that we will be able to give out to those who need them.

Thank you so much to all who have donated - you made it possible!

Heck of a day on Friday. Big thank you for your volunteering days, @turn2us.bsky.social we had the pleasure of @seanfirth.uk to help us migrate the @diginclusionkit.bsky.social to a better platform. Then we all went to celebrate the 18th Birthday of an awesome local digital company, Zoonou.

Whilst revenue grant funding pays for our day to day running cost and that's what we need most of, sometimes a grant for capital is vital for small organisations like us when we need to update our tech kit. Read more in our blog post

Another day at our base where I'm wowed by the skills, kindness, patience and dogged determination of our young team. Today, we've fixed apparently bricked tablet computers, showed a client how to use a touch screen, done some work with Canva and given out a basic phone to someone newly homeless...

Donating a phone or laptop to us doesn't only give a household on a low income and essential device, it also gives our students work experience and we get rid of the waste safely and legally!

Young, unaccompanied refugees are looked after by the local council. They often come to us so we can help with their digital skills before they go on to formal schooling. This helps them with their language skills too, amongst other young people

Ann was unemployed and had a smartphone, but she found job searching on it very difficult. We gave her a repurposed laptop & helped her install and use some free office software. As a result, she was far more capable and didn’t need more help.

Luke has a visual impairment and needed help setting up a screen reader and the display on his new phone. I later helped him update his universal credit to reflect his rent increase. He would have found this incredibly difficult without our help
