Free Mobile Data for Those in Need

In today’s digital world, staying connected is more important than ever. Whether it’s accessing essential services, keeping in touch with loved ones, or searching for job opportunities, having reliable internet access is crucial.

We believe that digital inclusion is essential and are proud to support and promote Good Things Foundation’s National Databank, a vital initiative providing free mobile data to those who need it most.

What is the National Databank?

The National Databank is like a food bank, but for mobile data. It provides free SIM cards and data vouchers to people who are struggling to afford an internet connection. With thousands of organisations registered across the UK, the databank is helping to tackle digital exclusion by ensuring that everyone can stay connected.

How can you help your community?

If you are part of a community organisation, you can access free mobile data to support your members by joining the National Digital Inclusion Network. This network, led by The Good Things Foundation, consists of grassroots organisations across the country working to promote digital inclusion. By becoming a member, you’ll be able to:

  • Distribute free mobile data to those who need it
  • Apply for funding opportunities to enhance your digital inclusion efforts
  • Receive free training and resources to support your community
  • Connect with other organisations through networking opportunities

Joining the network is free and easy
