I accidentally broke my phone after many years, but am delighted to have got a refurbished one from ⁦⁦@reboxed⁩. Great there are such options for a more #CircularEconomy. Thought I’d share ⁦@ClimateIlkley⁩ & ⁦@DawYorks⁩ who might use my old one for spares.

Yesterday **** picked up a new laptop for their son. Thanks to all those that have dropped them off, and make this possible. As this thanks message shows, it’s super appreciated, but there’s work to be done. Drop off at Hyde Park Book Club. 10am onwards, 7 days a week.

A newly built Chromebook given to a secondary school in Leeds this morning. They’ve worked with us throughout the pandemic. This will help a mum to continue an online training course as her child isolates. The complexities of digital access continue to add strain for many people.

Great to see food redistribution up 45% in 2020. We need a similar nation-wide commitment to reducing #ewaste, starting with redistributing instead of shredding computers. neighbourly.com/blog/wrap-re… cc @ChrisAshworthNT @DawYorks

8 chromebooks dropped off St Mary’s Primary School in Hunslet. The digital divide still exists and we are still getting referrals from schools and third party organisations. (Outdoor play equipment not ours, but looks fun). Getting that Friday feeling 😁
