Access to free SIM cards for those suffering from data poverty. We offer cards from the National Databank (O2, Three & Vodafone) and direct from Vodafone. Get a new number or keep your own.
We support the local adult social care teams with finding the right digital help for residents and when a piece of assistive technology they’ve issued needs to be handed back, we are one of several drop-off points.
Millions of old devices are stuck in drawers when they could be reused or recycled. We partner with local firm, Genuine Solutions, to provide a safe, secure and easy way to dispose of your old devices.
