Delivering devices to the community

We delivered devices to people in Edinburgh and East Lothian who need help staying connected, accessing support or home-schooling during the coronavirus outbreak.

Computer Delivery began as our COVID emergency response project, part of our Reconnect service. We collected donated devices, refurbished them and delivered them to recipients' doorsteps. Once delivered, we also provide phone support throughout set-up as well as support with connectivity. During the pandemic we delivered over 3,000 devices and were featured on BBC's The One Show!
