Bridging the digital divide, one device at a time 📱💻 The IT Reuse for Good charter is transforming how we tackle digital exclusion. With over 1.5 million people in the UK lacking access to basic devices like laptops and smartphones, businesses have a crucial role to play. Through our charter, companies like Deloitte, VodafoneThree, and BT Group are donating pre-loved tech that gets professionally refurbished and distributed to those who need it most through a charity partner, Good Things Foundation. For people like Ryan, a single father from Essex, receiving a donated laptop was life-changing: "This laptop isn't just a piece of equipment - it's a lifeline. I can actively search for jobs, attend online training, and build a better future." Donated devices not only reduce e-waste – they open doors to employment, education, and essential services for digitally excluded families. Is your business ready to make a difference? Sign up to the IT Reuse for Good charter on the GOV.UK website and help bridge the digital divide. https://lnkd.in/eBwaMZkA
