As Refugee Week approaches, SocialBox.Biz, a UK-based social enterprise, is gearing up to celebrate the contributions, creativity, resilience and courage of refugees. The company is committed to improving the lives of refugees by providing them with access to laptops. By donating their old devices, companies and organisations can bridge the digital divide and provide access to technology and communication to those who need it the most.
SocialBox.Biz has been providing rehomed laptops and other tech devices to organisations and individuals who work with refugees, homeless people, and older people who can not afford any kind computer. Carolyn Williams, Social Impact Consultant for SocialBox.Biz, said, “We are the only community interest company re-homing old but usable tech from companies, universities, and other large organisations and placing them in the hands of the disadvantaged in local UK communities in this way. We provide on-site data removal service and load the technology with open source software, solving common problems for IT teams and social impact problems for our clients. We’ve done a lot, but we will do a lot more with the help of more partners.”
Peter Paduh, founder and Chairman of SocialBox.Biz, highlighted the importance of Refugee Week and stated, “By donating your old no longer needed, yet still usable laptops and other tech, you can help to provide a lifeline for refugees and other disadvantaged people who are trying to rebuild their lives.”
SocialBox.Biz IT Service Innovations extend the lifespan of laptops and computers, increase social impact and “ESG” scores for UK companies. Refugees, the elderly and the homeless who can afford a computer all benefit from donations received by SocialBox.Biz. The donation of these devices allows those in need to connect with educational and career opportunities, as well as communicate with friends and loved ones.
