Expected impact
The gift of a laptop to a refugee is a life-changing tool. The people who have been referred to us or approached us have indicated that they would use the device for applying for education courses, using it for courses they are already on for submitting assignments and doing research, applying for jobs, finding out about the support services that are available to them, communicating with lawyers and using the device to relax and boost their wellbeing. We are measuring how many recipients use the device for these purposes, and asking specifically how many courses, jobs and volunteer opportunities they have used the device to apply for. We are also measuring how the device has helped them with their confidence using technology, their integration in the UK and their wellbeing. Our target is to have at least 90% of the devices increasing confidence and integration, at least 80% improved wellbeing, and at least 2 jobs or courses or volunteer opportunities applied to per recipient.
Track record
Since we set up during Covid, we have delivered 350 devices. Since we started measuring in this way 6 months ago, we have achieved: 80% of recipients said the device is helping them integrate in the UK 94% of recipients said it has improved their wellbeing 98% of recipients said it has helped them in education 90% of recipients said it has improved their confidence using technlogy 40% of recipients said it had helped them apply for jobs (we are trying to understand why and improve this!)
