Bridge the Gap - Ending Digital Poverty CIC (BTGEDP)
Help Us End Digital Poverty!
Bridge the Gap - Ending Digital Poverty CIC (BTGEDP) is dedicated to addressing digital and educational disparities in our community. Your support is crucial for continuing our services and making a lasting impact.
Why Your Support Matters
Despite our efforts to provide devices to families and community members, digital poverty remains a significant issue, leading to:
- Mental Health Issues: Increased isolation, depression, and anxiety.
- Education Barriers: Limited access to online learning.
- Employment Challenges: Difficulty finding and applying for jobs online.
- Social Isolation: Reduced connectivity with family and community.
Our Mission and Services
As a volunteer-led organisation, we need your support to sustain and expand our services:
- Laptop Repairs and Data Wiping
- Subsidised Devices and Data SIM Cards
- DIGI-WORLD Events and Digital Skills Programs
- Training Workshops on Using Digital Devices
- Guidance on Accessing Online Services
Our Goals
To continue and expand our services, we aim to raise £527,600 over the next five years. This funding will allow us to employ staff, cover operational costs, and reach more people in need.
