Celebrating Our Impact

At Power to Connect, we’re proud to be recognised for our work in bridging the digital divide and promoting digital inclusion across Wandsworth and the UK. By providing laptops, tablets, and devices to families in need, we help communities gain the tools they need to learn, grow and thrive.

Our Awards

  • Wandsworth Community Hero Award – Wandsworth Business Awards, June 2023
  • Commended: Best Charity 2025 – recognising our commitment to supporting local communities
  • Community Impact Award – Tech4Good Awards – highlighting our role in promoting digital inclusion nationwide
  • Jubilee Honours Recognition – Our Co-Founder, Isabel Oakley-Chapman MBE, was recognised for establishing Power to Connect

National Influence

Our approach inspired DevicesDotNow’s Reboot Playbook, sharing our model for giving devices to those in need across the UK. Through this, we continue to champion digital inclusion and sustainable reuse of technology.

Local Impact

Thanks to the support of volunteers and partners, we’ve reached thousands of families in Wandsworth. Devices are distributed to community members in need, with digital drop-ins taking place in libraries such as Wandsworth Library, Battersea Library, and Southfields Library, helping people access digital skills training and develop digital literacy.

Power to Connect have supplied devices to some of our most disadvantaged families this year. The story is usually the same – too few devices to go around, making remote learning impossible for families. The families report being able to keep up with online learning and seeing their children progress, not loose pace with their classmates. Parents have told us their family lives have improved immeasurably, as the stress of accessing online learning and resources have eased. Our Year 5 teacher Mrs Benn told me ‘There’s been a positive impact on everybody’s mental health and wellbeing
