Do something special for your community - become a corporate partner1. Provide volunteering and fundraising opportunities for your staff

Do you have a volunteering scheme in your workplace? Your employees could use their skills to support older and disabled people with their technology, as AbilityNet Tech Volunteers.

In return, we provide first-class volunteer training, and networking opportunities.

Looking for a fundraising challenge? You can also support us as your Charity of the Year. From cake sales to climbing mountains, it’s a great way to support the cause as well as foster increased team spirit. Your donation can help bridge the digital divide and bring us closer to providing essential technology, access and support to those who need it most. 

"I took part in a volunteering initiative with AbilityNet, a charity who work closely with BT to ensure that everyone is able to access and use technological devices. It really emphasises that we take so many 'normalities' for granted - to us, using the settings on our phone and connecting to wifi is something that we don't have to even think about, but for others it is a new challenge. I want to thank AbilityNet for the amazing work they do in the community." - Megan Thorne, on Commercial Analyst industrial placement with BT


2. Fund community-based skills support to combat digital exclusion

Join organisations including BT Group, Lenovo, OfcomLV=GI and others who have provided funding for projects to aid our work in local communities, helping to bridge the digital divide.

3. Make a donation

You can donate in a variety of simple ways to help us support disabled, older and digitally excluded people to access technology and improve their daily lives, including reducing isolation by keeping in touch with family and friends, to booking medical appointments, and using assistive technology.

4. Provide digital devices to people in need

By donating devices or funding new or refurbished technology, your organisation can help provide essential access to education, job opportunities, and vital services for those who are digitally excluded.

A tablet, costing as little as £100, can make a profound difference in someone's life. We collaborate with local community partners to ensure these devices, along with essential digital skills training, reach the people who need them most.

By supporting AbilityNet, you can help ensure disabled people aren't excluded from the digital world.
