Community Laptops

At Community Laptops, we connect organisations and individuals keen to re-distribute electronic devices, with schools and grassroots groups to ensure we reach families that need devices the mostWe set up in 2020 to support families excluded and suffering due to digital poverty. The COVID 19 pandemic has highlighted the stark reality of digital poverty in the UK. It is now a legal requirement for families to "have access to remote education" but alarmingly high numbers of families live without laptops and wifi. Children have no access to online learning and parents have no way to access the help they need. During the first lockdown in the UK, it became quickly apparent that access to the internet on a laptop or phone would be critical to homeschooling children when schools close. It also became apparent that without access to the internet or personal devices, families are limited to the ways in which they can access resources such as food banks, financial support or help into work. In the absence of government will to support those most marginalised in society, communities have been sustaining each other. We believe that if every organisation in the UK with surplus or unused electronic devices passed them on, that every family in the UK would be able to have access to a laptop.
