Our local TECH Connect Programme is bringing technology, digital participation and digital skills to those who need it most in Gloucestershire. Our programme provides equipment for charitable organisations as well as digital training and support. Recipients have been local charities, community centres, job clubs, schools, refugee groups, coding and youth clubs supporting marginalised and disabled groups.
Last year we gave 5,100 learners access to digital skills and services.

Please read some feedback from our local TECH Connect Community:
“The laptops you donated are a really useful resource to have available to clients. They have been used in our Education Centre for basic literacy and numeracy courses as well as having been used to help clients access the internet for support with benefit claims. Several clients have also used them to make job applications and update their CV's. Thank you so much for supporting us.”
Kevin Howie, Gloucester City Mission
“The computers you donated to the Redwell Centre are being used daily by the community, young and old for applying for jobs, helping with homework, internet searching, CV writing and lots more. Thank you for donating these, they have been an invaluable resource for our centre to offer.”

“It’s amazing....I have been able to check my Home Seeker account and bid on new places daily. Having access to a computer has helped me act on things myself, which is great. Thanks.”
