Reused Laptops are wiped and programmed with Linux Software by SocialBox.Biz, to make sure that through open-source technology C4WS guests can access all the programs they need in their course of settling into accommodation or looking into new pathways of employment and education.
“In a world where everything becomes interlinked with technology these re-use services help us making sure our guests are able to access Benefits Support, while engaging with Employment and Education training.” Added C4WS Staff
The partnership between SocialBox.Biz and C4WS Homeless Project has proven to be a fruitful helping connect a long list of people in need with updated old tech while reducing emissions for corporate partners and providing a solution for their social impact problems.
SocialBox.Biz team have been collecting old but usable tech from organisations across the UK and prepping some of the suitable ones for our re-use service via charities such as C4WS Homeless Project with open source software. In 2006, C4WS Homeless Project first opened its doors and today continues on with a mission of helping homeless people get back on their feet with housing, career, and educational opportunities.
“It made our day, that this is now possible that also old MacBooks can be re-used with open source technology discovering new ways to ensure recipients get access to laptops and software that they could otherwise not able to afford.” said the team at SocialBox.Biz. We are helping people in trying circumstances to get back on their feet and we are happy that our small community interest company can help another small charity.”
Case study ( provided by C4WS Homeless Charity partner on 26th Nov 2024)
Colin has been stuck without a home for a long time, unable to follow up with his caseworker or find employment.
As a part of the winter shelter and housing service from C4WS he was provided with a SocialBoxBiz laptop service and tech lab, which allowed him to complete paperwork and engage with his caseworker to help him find suitable accommodation.
His dream is to move into accommodation and finish his training as Engineer, and find his dream job. Thanks to Social Box he is on the way to accomplish it.
