A community interest company which aims to tackle digital poverty is calling for support.

Wiltshire Digital Drive (WDD) is asking people to sponsor a laptop this Christmas to provide essential digital access to those in need.

The Gift of Tech appeal aims to address digital exclusion by providing laptops to those who need them most.

One recipient, referred through the Wiltshire Centre for Independent Living, said: "I can’t thank Wiltshire Digital Drive enough for, what to me, is a lifeline and the means to move mountains."

The organisation has distributed more than 3,400 devices free of charge to people across Wiltshire and neighbouring counties.

Natalie Luckham, chief executive of Wiltshire Digital Drive, said: "We see every day how a single laptop can transform someone's future.

"By sponsoring a laptop this Christmas, supporters will be opening doors and creating opportunities for someone less fortunate than themselves.

"I appreciate how tough things are for everyone right now, but without support, I worry that we won’t be able to continue our work in the future.

"I hope people can get behind us."

The Gift of Tech appeal aims to raise £25,000 to refurbish and redistribute 550 laptops in 2025.
