Our founder Sue Gowling visited Cambridge Online this week to donate 10 SSDs to help them refurbish laptops for those in need of digital access in Cambridge. We are delighted to be working with Cambridge Online, helping them provide data-secure, sustainable refurbished devices, to people in need.
Cambridge Online is an educational charity and social enterprise helping people from the Cambridgeshire area to get online by teaching digital skills and also by providing a range of courses including searching and applying for jobs, literacy and numeracy skills, shopping online, using Facebook and socialising online, contacting government and health services, leisure and healthy living and more. They specialise in helping disabled and disadvantaged people, but their services are open to all. They also provide training on personal computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones. They have a wide range of accessible hardware and software for people to try. With support from Cambridge City Council and personal donors, many of their services are provided free of charge or at low cost. This year Cambridge Online’s goal is to donate over 300 laptops and devices. Can you help? Look in your cupboards for old useable tech, dust them off, and get in touch.
