Impact in Numbers: What Happens When Wandsworth Shares Tech ♻️
At Power to Connect, we believe that a laptop or a smartphone is more than just a piece of hardware – it is a key that unlocks a world of potential. Our latest impact report is a testament to what happens when our community chooses to recycle computers near me rather than letting them gather dust or end up as waste.
Behind every digit in our data is a real person in Wandsworth building confidence, gaining vital digital skills, and accessing new opportunities that were previously out of reach.
Our Journey So Far: The All-Time Impact
Since we started our mission to bridge the digital divide, the response from the community has been nothing short of incredible.
| Milestone | Total Impact |
| Devices Donated | 5,600 laptops, tablets, and phones |
| Devices Delivered | 4,792 ready-to-use devices sent to homes |
| Data SIMs Distributed | 416 connections to the internet |
| Volunteers Joined | 205 dedicated individuals |
Every time someone chooses to donate laptops UK-wide through our scheme, they are supporting a sustainable circular economy. As a computer recycling charity, we ensure these devices don’t just sit in storage; they get back into the community where they belong.
Empowering Learners: This Financial Year
While providing hardware is the first step toward digital inclusion, we know that confidence and knowledge are what truly keep people connected. This financial year, our focus on digital literacy courses UK and support sessions has reached new heights:
- 454 Hours of Digital Skills Support: Direct, hands-on help for those navigating the online world for the first time.
- 554 Unique Learners: Individuals who are now more confident using the internet for essential services.
- 1,217 Visits to Our Drop-ins: Regular support hubs at locations like Wandsworth Library, Battersea Library, and Southfields Library.
- 945 Volunteering Hours: A massive thank you to our team for their tireless work in volunteering Wandsworth.
Shared Tech, Not Wasted Tech
These numbers prove that recycling electrical items works. By choosing to support laptops for charity, you are helping a neighbor sign up for a basic IT skills course free of charge or find free digital skills training UK that could lead to their next job.
When tech is shared, it creates a ripple effect of empowerment across the entire borough.
