  • We’re committed to tackling data poverty and making digital access fairer for everyone. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Good Things Foundation, the UK’s leading digital inclusion charity.
  • By donating a portion of your recycle value, you’ll help support their work, powering change in communities across the UK. Find out more about Good Things Foundation here.

You’ll still make your donation – it’ll be adjusted as a percentage in line with your new valuation.
