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.

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
