SCREEN SHARE IS THE LEADING DIGITAL INCLUSION CHARITY FOR REFUGEES IN THE UK
In modern Britain, everything is digital.
To be properly integrated into society, interact with the state, or enter the world of work, it is now a necessity to have access to a connected digital device and the skills and confidence to use it.
Refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK often don’t have either: they are digitally excluded.
Digital exclusion puts the brakes on in any life, but for refugees, the consequences can be far more severe. It prevents access to home office applications, to speaking to far away family, to navigating one’s new surroundings.
When combined with the other challenges already faced by refugees, the impact on an individual’s health, happiness and ability to achieve their goals can be catastrophic.
THE SITUATION
Screen Share’s mission is to ensure every refugee in the UK has access to a connected digital device and the skills to use it to achieve their goals.
A digital device is a lifeline in these circumstances, providing a chance for connection, meaning, and helping individuals get back on their feet.
We provide laptops, smartphones, internet connectivity, digital skills training and laptop repair training to those seeking sanctuary.
The provision of tech and tech skills is different to the provision of food or shelter. It is a tool for the recipient to build their own future on their own terms. We are proud to be doing this work, providing devices, skills and internet connectivity to people in need so that they can reach their potential and live happier lives.
