How old tech is fighting digital poverty

Available for over a year

SOFEA, a tech charity based in Oxford, has recently received a grant of £100,000 to tackle e-waste and digital poverty. The project funded by Virgin Media O2 and Hubbub, involves refurbishing donated tech to give to people struggling to access digital devices. So far, the charity has helped more than 3000 individuals, providing support, devices and education. By taking in these old devices, SOFEA aim to keep them out of landfill.
