Partnering with Global Resale to bridge the digital gap
About the partnership
In Kind Direct are proud to have partnered with Global Resale, a leading provider of refurbished technology including laptops and computers. This partnership aims to help bridge the digital gap as digital poverty continues to rise across the UK.
What is Digital Poverty
Digital poverty is the inability to interact with the online world fully when, where, and how an individual needs to. Not having access to the digital world means not having access to the fundamentals of life. From social security to healthcare, education and training and finding work – critical services are more and more online. Digital inclusion is no longer something that is ‘nice to have’ it is an essential. Being cut off from digital isn’t just an inconvenience, it compounds and exacerbates poverty.
- 11 million people in the UK (21%) lack the digital skills needed for everyday life
- 26% of young people do not have access to a laptop or similar device
- 53% of people offline can’t afford an average monthly broadband bill
What is refurbished technology?
The term “refurbished” is used to describe pre-owned technology products returned to Global Resale from businesses and government organisations. Products are safety tested, functionally checked, refurbished to manufacturer specification, and then re-packaged for resale and reuse.
Refurbishment also means:
- Reduced demand for valuable natural resources
- Less CO2 emissions than new manufacture
- Less e-waste and avoidable end of life recycling
- Lower energy, water and fuel consumption than used in new production
In summary you can help the environment and save money by purchasing refurbished items.
