The Digital Divide Is Real — And You Can Help Close It

Millions of people in the UK don't have access to a computer at home. That means kids can't do homework, job seekers can't apply for work, and elderly people are cut off. Your old tech can fix that.

IMP-015

The Numbers Are Staggering

In 2025, an estimated 1.5 million households in the UK still don't have access to a computer or tablet at home. That's not a developing country stat — that's here, right now.

What That Actually Means

  • Kids fall behind at school. Homework is increasingly online. No computer means no access.
  • Job seekers are locked out. Most job applications are online-only. No device means no applications.
  • Elderly and vulnerable people are isolated. Video calls, online banking, GP appointments — all require a device.

Your Old Laptop Is the Solution

That laptop you replaced two years ago? It's more than good enough for homework, job applications, and staying connected. We wipe it, fix it up, and get it to someone who genuinely needs it.

You're not just decluttering. You're directly closing the digital divide in your own community.
