/// Change Starts At The Top  – SocialBox.Biz Celebrates Ten Years of Making an Impact with a Call To Action for Corporate Boards and Company Leaders/// In 2024 and beyond when you have old tech – call us first before you call the scrap recycling to check what can be reused to help those who can not afford any computer hardware or software. Reduce pollution and scope 3 emissions whilst increasing social impact today due to local reuse. ///

The past ten years have seen the launch and expansion of the Laptops for homeless moving into permanent accommodation, older people living in isolation and refugees integrating into British society program, but we still have so much work to do. Each new partner is another advancement for us and for the underprivileged people we serve. Over the years, we’ve found that particular segments of the population are more at risk for not having access to a laptop. These findings reflect the research and data presented by many other organisations.

SocialBox.Biz has found similar findings in terms of computer access, finding that disadvantaged people like like people living on small pensions people moving from homless shelters into accommodation  and  genuine refugees ingratiating into our society have fewer means of accessing computers than others. It’s almost impossible to access basic training much less to progress in leadership without a computer. How can we expect young people from minorities without Macbooks and laptops to become leaders?

The team at SocialBox.Biz explains…

We have helped numerous disadvantaged people such as homeless moving into permanent accommodation, older people living in isolation unable to afford computer hardware or software on their small pension and genuine refugees integrating into British society  improve their lives with donated laptops and start their own businesses and progress with their careers in the UK.

Corporate Impact Problems Solved

Peter founder of SocialBox.Biz with Rachel founder of Street Storage Homelessness charity and beneficiaries of reused laptops from charity partners  C4WS, Centrepoint,  Working Chance,  The Passage and others.

SocialBox.Biz founder Peter Paduh knows all too well what such a small but kind gesture can do. He received an old computer to aid in his education and integration into British society as a child refugee in London and working in IT. Now, that donation has paid off many times over.

We’ve also found studies that confirm the success of ongoing responsible business activities combined with marketing actions in terms of increasing share price while doing good for customers who would prefer to buy from companies that are involved with initiatives such as ours. There are no smelters in the U.K. where old computers are accepted for recycling, which means that companies, universities, and councils must send computers abroad for recycling. Our initiative helps these organisations reduce Scope 3 emissions with a concept that sees more older tech loaded with free open source software and reused locally in the UK.

We invite you to join the initiative with SocialBox.Biz. Become one of our partners today with your ongoing participation in the collections of old but still functioning Macbooks and laptops from your offices and sponsor our tech labs, CompTIA+ classes for formerly homeless people moving into accommodation and disadvantaged people who can not afford university education and other computer classes .
