Today, we made another huge stride towards our target of getting everyone in Stockport online. Thanks to the wonderful Community Computers and Stockport Council’s DigiKnow team, we have had another donation of 10 devices.

James with Adrian from Community Computers, Renuka from Stockport Council and digital champions Paddy and Denise.

These 10 devices have been donated to help those who can’t afford the cost of a device to be online. They accompany 15 smart phones that were donated in April. Devices like this support people like Justin.

Justin was referred to us by a homeless support worker from Stockport Homes. He was a rough sleeper who needed help accessing a mobile device and data in order to update his universal credit journal and to help with appointments. 

He told us that he has no means of knowing what time it is during the day, and has missed several appointments due to this.  

We supported Justin with a mobile phone and data from the Good Things Foundation national databank. We also signposted to several partner organisations to support him in his current situation. 

Donations like this really have the power to change people’s lives. To get help from DigiKnow you can call or text 07724 217888.
