How We Make Digital Inclusion Happen in Wandsworth

Community Organisations Supported
We have been so grateful for the lifeline that Power to Connect gave many of our children during the lockdown when we didn’t have access to any additional devices. It enabled children who had limited access to a device the opportunity to log in every day and be part of live teaching and access google classroom to complete learning tasks.
We continue to be grateful for the support of Power to Connect through the parent workshops educate our families about online safety
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
