Community TechAid

Community TechAid exists to end digital poverty by providing sustainable access to the technology, skills and opportunities to get online. We are an award winning charity who work with people experiencing digital exclusion in our local Lambeth and Southwark community. We work with people who are often already marginalised, facing barriers to housing, healthcare, and other vital services, and who are cut off from local connections because of digital poverty. We operate a circular economy: we collect, repair, refurbish and reuse unwanted technology, including laptops and smartphones, returning it to the local community where it is needed. We deliver workshops and digital skills sessions to increase participants' confidence, digital literacy and overall well being, helping them to fully engage with their device and experience the benefits of being online. We also work with our community partners to provide access to connectivity and further opportunities to support members of our Lambeth and Southwark community online. Community TechAid is proud to have Labour MP for Streatham, Bell Ribeiro-Addy as our Patron. We are a registered charity in England and Wales No. 1193210
