During the current COVID-19 Pandemic, we are pleased to be able to provide free internet devices and data for people and organisations in need if they meet simple qualifying criteria. We currently have grant funding to help people living in Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire with devices and data. We may also be able to help people in other areas of Cambridgeshire with donated devices, and we can help with digital skills training wherever people live.
Our work is funded by Cambridge City Council, Cambridge City Homes, South Cambridgeshire District Council as well as donations from individuals, businesses and trusts. We have laptops, tablets, 4G SIM cards, and Mobile Wi-Fi devices available. Equipment is a mixture of new, refurbished and donated/reset. Most equipment is given out permanently, while some is provided on loan.
