Greater Manchester Tech Fund- Donate your preloved device


Greater Manchester Tech Fund- Donate your preloved device 

We want to ensure that everyone in Greater Manchester no matter their age, location or situation should be able to benefit from the opportunity digital brings and thrive in today’s world.

In Greater Manchester, up to 1.2M residents are digitally excluded in some way and correlates with further health, financial and social implications. The digital divide feeds on existing inequalities and the impact on those facing digital exclusion is widening social exclusion, which is why the Greater Manchester Tech Fund has extended its reach to support families and communities across Greater Manchester.
