We won’t let the digital divide
leave anyone behind

At furbd, we believe in the power of connection. Every device we refurbish and distribute is more than just a piece of technology—it’s a lifeline. Whether it’s helping a child build their confidence in a new country, giving a homeless person the chance to reconnect with services, or providing a vulnerable family with the means to access education and opportunities, your support is changing lives.

Our Impact

We’re proud to support local organisations making a real difference.

At Teesside Hospice, tablets are helping families capture precious memories and stay connected during difficult times.

For Krystyna, Alex, and Simon—who fled the conflict in Ukraine—a tablet from furbd has meant Simon can continue his education, keep in touch with his teachers, and improve his English as he settles into life in Stockton.

We’ve also supported Marske on a Mission by donating a games console, giving children a fun, safe space to connect and build confidence during after-school clubs.

These devices do more than entertain—they empower, educate, and connect. Your support is bridging the digital divide and opening doors to opportunity.

Thank you for being part of this movement. Together, we’re making a real impact.
