Community Techaid

Community TechAid is a south London charity that is helping to bridge the digital divide by providing information technology and the skills to use it to those without. We collect computers, tablets and mobile phones that people no longer need, remove all data and refurbish the devices, so they are in good working order and ready to deliver to people in need. We work with local schools, disability, refugee and other community focused organisations to identify recipients and deliver the devices. To date, we have worked with over 70 Lambeth based organisations to get over 500 members of our community online, and demand continues to grow. The lockdown legacy means much of daily life has moved online, and is likely to remain there for the foreseeable future. Access to a digital device opens up job seeking, adult education and apprenticeships as well as access to health and wellbeing resources. Despite students returning to school, digital inclusion remains a problem. Children will increasingly need digital access and skills for their future. Community TechAid is proud to have Labour MP for Streatham, Bell Ribeiro-Addy as our Patron. Our work is supported with generosity from the Walcot Foundation, Battersea Power Station Foundation, Lambeth Council, Thrale Almhouse, Lambeth Forum Network, Millennium Community Services and the London Community Response Fund. We are a registered charity in England and Wales No. 1193210
