After many recent conversations, it has been obvious that many people don't really understand the meaning of 'Digital Poverty.' So I've tried to explain things more clearly here.
We now have a new trading name, and website, https://t.co/7n3rtxRDtj, which will help us work more efficiently.
As poverty in the UK grows rapidly, your continued support is even more valued!
Thank you from me and my team at SimpalUK π

Digital poverty is real!
We are reaching out for companies to send us their old devices or for financial support to enable us to continue to provide this very essential service. If you can support us please visit the web site https://t.co/YGlwPCGfzO

SimPal charity works to solve the first 2 problems that drive digital poverty by supplying devices and sim cards with 6 months of pre paid data.
Help to bridge the digital divide!

That fleet of retired devices sitting in your storage cupboard? It could change someone's life.
Millions live in digital poverty β no device to apply for jobs, see a doctor, or learn online.
β Cut e-waste
β Change a life
Don't bin it. Donate it.

Dad is out of Critical Care after 7 days is now on a ward. He needs to get back so we can share some fresh air together and get back to our walks and sniffs.
The book launch for 'Leading with Humanity in an AI World' was not only a fun occasion, but also a perfect opportunity for a get-together of some of team SimPal. A very special occasion for us as the proceeds are to come to SimPal charity.

The reasons for ending up in digital poverty are diverse. This example of a daughter giving up her job to help her ailing mum shows it is not always through any fault of their own.
SimPal helps people all over the UK stay connected. https://t.co/YGlwPCGfzO

Our great Patron Avril Chester has pulled together the wisdom from 30 CoβAuthors offering guidance for the decisions leaders cannot afford to get wrong in this new AI world. What does leading with humanity in an AI world mean to you?
The book is out now!

A simple image to portray a serious subject. Imagine not having a phone or laptop when all major organisations assume you do.
Our aim is to bridge the gap between those who are able to participate and those being left behind.
Help us.. https://t.co/YGlwPCGfzO
@christheeagle1
As large organisations all move towards digital access the pressure mounts on charities to bridge the gap for those who don't have access to phone or the internet and are locked out. We need to close the digital divide! You can help.... https://t.co/DMxUZXl1Ha
@christheeagle1
At SimPal we are finding that more organisations are moving to digital access, assuming that as they know their portal is technically working that they are now accessible. This is not the case!
Digital access should not be the only option

We have received a desperate application from a lady who has followed this path.
Can you imagine managing this situation without access to a phone or internet? If you are replacing old devices they can become a lifeline to someone. Visit https://t.co/tmIRi4pd4o to help.
@freeITstafford Brilliant achievement! Thank you from SimPal who is just one of the many charities and organisations who benefit from your work...be assured it is changing so many lives for the better. π»β€οΈ
At SimPal we get many applications to help prison leavers with a phone and data so they can get on with their lives. As Fly Girl Foundation has said it provides a lifeline, essential to navigate the world today.
One of many sectors of society we can help.

I left my phone at my in-laws house which took 2 days to get back. You realise how tough life is without a phone.
My 2 days was a reminder of how important SimPal is! They provide phones to those in need and allow them to connect with services, friends, family
