We are a UK National Databank partner.  Some people are cut off from the basic daily activities many take for granted. They are cut off from contacting loved ones, from job interviews, from finding essential health or other information online, and cut off from digital public services. 

We provide free mobile internet data connectivity to people who can’t afford it and who are often also experiencing multiple inequalities in today’s society working together to end data poverty for good. 

If you are;

  • over 18

We can provide a sim card with free calls and texts as well as a data allowance.  Contact us to find out more.
