Updated 30th May 2024
One of our homelessness service partners recently shared some success stories with us about laptops and phones provided and upgraded by SocialBox.Biz for people who are moving from homelessness into permanent accommodation, work and training. During recent deliveries in 2023/24 over 100 additional items have been provided, including laptops and mobile phones for The Passage clients in need of computer access that they could otherwise not afford. SocialBox.Biz is currently seeking additional companies to contact them before scrap recycling to that SocialBox.Biz can check for old but still usable tech from these organisations. The Passage cites that its clients use their laptops for accessing online courses, searching for new jobs, getting support for their online applications, and staying connected with family and friends. Moreover, The Passage says that it used one of the laptops to run open computer access sessions in its Resource Center. This service is being held twice per month, offering internet access to those who do not currently have a device. During these sessions, The Passage was also able to attain digital support from either their Pre-employment coach, Resilient coach, or a volunteer.
“Thank you so much for the donations; it has been incredibly helpful for our clients to achieve their goals! We are also happy to let you know how this year’s donations will be used,” said the team at The Passage.
Through initiatives like this, SocialBox.Biz is addressing numerous environmental and humanitarian concerns with a single process. As part of this process, we obtain old but still usable tech from organisations and help them solve impact problems and reduce scope 3 emissions by reusing locally first before recycling. We wipe old tech clean and upload open source software to it. We also hand over some of the suitable items to charities such as The Passage. Recently we celebrated with The Passage 7 years of joint effort in giving. During that time, we have donated hundreds of laptops as part of our partnership. Through this process, we continue to help organisations reduce their Scope 3 emissions while offering opportunities for those who need them the most.
We invite you to join the SocialBox.Biz cause today. Connect with us to learn how you can donate old tech!
