TECH Connect ​​Community Programme 
Bringing technology and digital skills to those who need it most. 

Picture
Since the programme began in 2017 we have enabled ​22,000 learners access to support with digital skills and supported over 100​ local charity and community based organisations through donations of refurbished IT equipment. We know through our research that there are many of the harder to reach members of the local community that can benefit from our work. 

Covid-19 and lockdown has highlighted the need for technology and has really shown how painful digital poverty is and how divisive it is across communities. "11,7 million (22%) of people in the UK are without the digital skills needed for everyday life online. Digital skills can be a lifeline for people and are even more likely to be at this moment in time". [Lloyds Bank Consumer Digital Index, May 2020) 
Who we have helped
  • Children of school age who have no access to computers to do their online learning.
  • Job seekers - assistance with online job search, CV writing, universal credit benefits
  • Elderly people who need to learn digital skills
  • Refugee groups
  • Isolated and disadvantaged local residents
