Tackling digital exclusion
across Oxfordshire
Getting Oxfordshire Online is a new initiative that refurbishes donated devices, and passes them to people who need them. It also helps people to access the data, training and support they need to get online.
Through a collaborative, partnership approach, Getting Oxfordshire Online is putting the infrastructure in place to deliver a sustainable, long-term solution to the problem of digital exclusion.
This project was initiated by Oxfordshire Community Foundation, and received seed funding from
Our Common Good and Oxfordshire County Council.

We've seen a permanent shift towards video calling that could help many people feel less isolated from far-away friends. We're urging local support organisations to refer their beneficiaries to #GettingOxfordshireOnline for free laptops and other support. https://buff.ly/3rCFQiw
#GettingOxfordshireOnline has given laptops to @AsylumWelcome to help them support refugees arriving in Oxford. Here's volunteer Ben Tuppen giving an insight into how this helps people who arrive with nothing start their life here. 💖 https://buff.ly/351LFOJ
For some families, the cost of a laptop is an impossible burden. Six students from @Cheney_School received help via #GettingOxfordshireOnline; we're now urging other schools and charities to make referrals so that more disadvantaged people can benefit. https://buff.ly/3Aibvtg
Great interview with Ben Tuppen on @BBCOxford a short time ago! 🎙️

Restrictions are being lifted again, but the fallout of Omicron is still being felt - especially by those who don't have access to the internet. #GettingOxfordshireOnline is urging charities and support orgs to refer those in need for free laptops. https://buff.ly/351LFOJ #SOFEA
Pupils without home laptops still cannot access all of their learning, which continues to be set online in most schools. We're urging local schools and charities to refer their beneficiaries to #GettingOxfordshireOnline for free laptops and other support. https://buff.ly/3rCFQiw
#GettingOxfordshireOnline and @befreeyc have supported young carers with free laptops. In an era where young carers’ mental health is at an all-time low, this alleviated loneliness as well as giving access to school. Could your organisation benefit too? https://buff.ly/3H0WTRP

A donation of ten laptops from #GettingOxfordshireOnline to Wroxton CofE Primary School has enabled them to teach the computing curriculum. We're now urging other schools and charities to make referrals so that more disadvantaged people can benefit. https://buff.ly/3KnPPAR
As we learn to live with the impact of COVID, including the widespread need to self-isolate, access to school learning and mental health remain key concerns. If you support people who struggle to get online, refer them to #GettingOxfordshireOnline now. https://buff.ly/351LFOJ
Access to services such as shopping and doctors' appointments is now completely unequal if you have no internet access. We're urging local support organisations to refer their beneficiaries to #GettingOxfordshireOnline for free laptops and other support. https://buff.ly/3rCFQiw
