We help over 127 organisations across the UK by donating much needed devices, including Conversation Over Borders. They made this videoto show how our recent donation made an impact!
“We have received 5 phones that are getting ready to be sent to 5 clients of ours across the UK. As a predominantly online service, it is crucial that we are able to reach people who are newly arrived in the UK and are without tech in order to connect them to the wider community around them and support with confidence in spoken English during a time when college isn’t accessible. This is made possible through the support the support of good quality, donated phones.
When people seeking asylum first arrive in the UK they are often without loved ones and do not have knowledge of the English language. When people arrive without a phone, it is made incredibly difficult to connect to the services that they need and to keep in touch with their friends and families overseas which can in turn be very isolating.
These phones will not only allow 5 individuals to have access to our 1-1 English & befriending classes and online wellbeing peer support groups, reducing social isolation and positively impacting people’s confidence in spoken English, but will allow people to reconnect with their loved ones and navigate their new areas freely and safely.”
