Have some old tech that needs getting rid of?
Why not donate it? You could change someone's life. 📲

Many individuals struggle to:
➡️ Reach out to loved ones
➡️ Make important appointments
➡️ Access essential benefits online
They're facing "digital exclusion"

The Staying Connected project directly tackles this by wiping and resetting donated equipment and passing it on to someone who needs it.

Drop them into their office at 48 High Street, Hemel Hempstead, HP1 3AF or into the Volunteer Centre Roundhouse in the Marlowes or call 01442 253935.
