Paul came to St Giles facing financial and mental health issues. He was eager to find a stable job but needed support.

St Giles' partnership with @CommTechaid gave Paul a laptop and tools to complete training and secure a stable job.

Really great report about the value of redistributing tech, plus the challenges that organisations like ours face when it comes to demand vs supply.

Digital poverty is growing, and orgs like us, @ScreenShareUK, @PWRtoConnect and others are a vital part of solving this problem

[Green Alliance @GreenAllianceUK]

What if we could tackle the seemingly separate issues of #DigitalExclusion and #ewaste at once?

In this report, we investigate the barriers to redistributing unused devices to those in need, and offer recommendations for policymakers. Read: https://t.co/apUNDtbI2T
