Virgin Media O2’s Post

Imagine your life without a computer... We recently hosted an event at our store location on Seven Mile to gift laptops to members of the community who don't currently have proper access to high quality tech, but are in serious need of it. Many of the recipients were kids in the early stages of their educational journey. Not having access to a laptop or computer at home puts them several steps behind kids that do, and that just doesn't sit right with us. If that doesn't sit right with you either, head to the link human-i-t.org to donate through our website to give young people, on the wrong side of the digital divide, some of the same opportunities their peers have. #DigitalEquity #DigitalLiteracy #DigitalInclusion #DigitalDivide #InclusiveTech

📢 It's #EndDigitalPovertyDay! This day aims to shed light on the urgent need to end digital poverty and ensure equal opportunities for all 💻 📚Education, employment, healthcare, and social connections – all these crucial aspects of modern life heavily rely on digital access. However, countless people are left behind, unable to access the devices, digital tools and opportunities that many of us take for granted. That's why we urge companies with disused devices to donate them to the #NationalDeviceBank instead of disposing of them. Through device donations, you can help tackle digital poverty by helping digitally excluded people to access refurbished devices and get online through the National Device Bank. If you have disused devices, donate them to help people in need overcome digital barriers👇 https://bit.ly/3BbZXJz

💻 Are you a business with disused devices? By donating those devices to the #NationalDeviceBank, you can help digitally excluded people like Liz to overcome digital barriers by accessing devices and getting online. The National Device Bank is a lifeline for many people who are otherwise unable to access devices and internet access. Our sustainable initiative provides both by refurbishing old devices and pairing them with data to distribute to people who need them.

Omaha Community: Does anyone need, or have an unused, internet-connected device, such as a tablet, a phone or a laptop? Check out the DeviceConnect program at Metropolitan Community College’s Digital Express🙌🏼. I’d like to send a huge Thank You to iFixOmaha LLC for managing the program. Help us keep devices in use in our community and out of the landfill. All devices that are in good working order and that are refurbished quality will be redistributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Let us know what you need and we’ll match you with the best available product. Do you own a business and want to donate your old inventory? We will pick items up from you. Thank you for considering donating through this program- 👉🏼did you know that almost 16% of folks in North and South Omaha have ONLY a cell phone to connect to the internet. Your donations MATTER. 🙌🏼👏🏼 Any items that aren’t in good working order will be ethically recycled. Any part that can be used will be used again. Devices may be used for training purposes for students participating in our WISE Levels 1&2 certification bootcamp. If you have concerns about data destruction I completely understand. I donated my old phone today and watched the technician go through the data destruction process. I left comfortable that nothing remained on the donated device. The technician was friendly and, as always, patient and kind. If you have questions please ask below. 👇🏼 #digitalequity #digitaldivide #leaderslead #digitalaccessibility

⭐ It's not the season for giving gifts, it's the season for connecting. For many, a device is the only way to connect with loved ones during the holiday season. 💻 Your business can donate devices that are no longer used, such as laptops, mobiles and tablets, to help people who can't afford their own. Your donations would mean more people can connect with their loved ones so that no one has to be alone over the holidays. #FixTheDigitalDivide this holiday season. Donate devices to the National Device Bank ▶️ https://bit.ly/49Zkq4w

Have you got an old mobile phone or tablet languishing at the back of a drawer gathering dust? Would you be willing to donate it to a local resident in need? Ealing Council (London Borough of Ealing) has joined forces with PayByPhone and Computer Recyclers UK Ltd to collect and refurbish donated laptops, tablets and phones to help people in our local community. 👫🧑🤝🧑👭 Today, 270,000 Londoners have no access to the Internet and around 2 million have very low levels of engagement, which suggests they don’t have their own device or the skills needed to get online. Almost 20% of Ealing residents don’t have a computer at home. 💻 The scheme will support individuals experiencing digital exclusion by providing devices so that children can do their homework, young people can find jobs and older people can access healthcare and online banking. If you can help, there are lots of donation points to drop off unwanted devices and charging cables. 😁
