Wiltshire Digital Drive: #DonateYourDigital

What started out as a Covid-19 initiative to help the local community has become a growing project that continues to shine the spotlight on the digital divide and close the gap by providing support to those most affected. During the 2020 lockdown, it became apparent that children and adults from struggling backgrounds were being isolated from society.
