So great to take part and inspire repair and reuse!
Our Southwark team celebrated Repair Week 2025 at Canada Water Library with clothing mending workshops, an old tech donation drive, and the chance to learn more about local repair and reuse schemes thanks to Mads do & Mend, @CommTechaid, @lb_southwark, and @libraryofthings
Thank you @StGilesTrust for sharing this story! Working with orgs like you is so important to reaching those isolated from vital support. A laptop can make such a huge difference to an individual's life 🙌
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
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: buff.ly/4hdFMOw

We are so excited to be part of this project! If you have a device to donate please visit one of the local libraries in Southwark. Digital poverty is increasing and access to a laptop or a smartphone can be life changing 💫
