ODS has donated over 30 smartphones and tablets to local charity initiative Getting Oxfordshire Online, supporting its mission to bridge the digital divide for those most in need across the county.
The generous donation, which includes both brand-new and high-quality used Samsung tablet and smartphone devices, will go directly to individuals and families who currently lack access to essential digital tools — helping them connect to education, services, employment, and community support.
Comments
“Digital access is no longer a luxury – it’s a necessity. We’re proud to support Getting Oxfordshire Online in their mission to empower people with the tools they need to participate fully in society.”
Harry Clent, ICT Service Delivery Analyst at ODS
"This generous donation of phones and tablets from ODS will allow us to provide much needed devices to people experiencing digital exclusion.
“They will enable our recipients to join online classes, apply for jobs and keep in touch with family and support workers. In our modern society, a smartphone and a SIM can make all the difference between a person being able to easily access services and support or struggling with everyday tasks that now expect people to have access to a device."
John Dennis, ICT Manager, Getting Oxfordshire Online
Getting Oxfordshire Online collaborates with councils, schools, charities, and businesses to refurbish and redistribute donated technology to those who would otherwise be digitally excluded. This first donation from ODS is part of their wider commitment to community investment and digital inclusion, with further donations planned over the coming months.
