Our primary services as a social impact initiative
At SocialBox.Biz, we help corporations create a measurable positive impact on their communities as we implement more cost-effective IT strategies. We can also coach your IT department on safe methods of “wiping” sensitive data out of old hard drives and help you donate unneeded computers to those most in need in your neighborhood. We distribute your old computers to the homeless and disadvantaged clients of our partner charities, train them to use basic office software, and help them create and send out resumes to their new employers.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg! Check out our Services page for more details on the supportive corporate social impact and IT services we can offer your corporation.
Please also check out our Digital Inclusion page for information on our current initiatives including — the Laptops for Homeless Support Initiative, where we’re working to donate at least 1,000 re-homed laptops to homeless and disadvantaged individuals in 2020.

A word about our founder
Our founder Peter Paduh as a former unaccompanied child refugee himself wanted to give back the British society and help people using his IT skills that he learned as a child thanks to an old laptop computer that was given to him when he left a children’s home and moved to a foster family. SocialBox.Biz long standing initiative has been helping older people who can not afford a computer and homeless people get back on their feet as well as refugees integrate into the British society. Without regular access to personal computers, disadvantaged individuals have little ability to practice basic job skills, shop for their basic needs, and keep in touch with friends and family.
