Ending Digital Poverty Day
29 Sep 2023
Ending Digital Poverty Day was on 12 September this year, and to do our part we sent out a printed factsheet to all our offline tenants. This factsheet pointed out the benefits of going online, and gave information on the availability of affordable (or free!) devices, data and skills training in East Lothian. We can also help tenants access digital services, and have included a helpful jargon buster and checklist to make the process as easy as possible for our offline tenants.
James, our Housing & Community Outreach Worker, has been working with the Musselburgh Citizens Advice Bureau, and has already successfully applied for a free laptop for one of our tenants.
