Moulton Medical Centre are proud to work alongside the Good Things Foundation. The Good Things Foundation is the UK's leading digital inclusion charity. We have signed up to become a 'National Databank' - being able to provide FREE MOBILE SIM CARDS preloaded with data.
What is the National Databank?
Like a foodbank but for mobile data, the National Databank provides free mobile SIM cards for people who can’t access the internet.
Internet access is essential in today’s society, and yet 2 million households have no home internet, and 2.4 million can't afford a mobile phone contract. This lack of access often affects vulnerable people facing other inequalities.
To ensure everyone benefits from internet connectivity, we built the National Databank. Launched in July 2021 with our strategic partner Virgin Media O2, the National Databank was founded to tackle data poverty and isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic.
By early 2022, Vodafone and Three pledged to support the National Databank, expanding our reach from 34 hubs to hundreds. In just one year this grew to over 1,000 Digital Inclusion Hubs providing free mobile data to people in their communities, and the demand for support is still increasing. As a result, the National Databank is expanding, ensuring more people can access the connectivity they need in today's digital world.
If you or a loved one need free data
We don't currently provide mobile data directly to people, we work with thousands of local organisations offering the National Databank across the UK. You can visit these organisations for free and friendly help.
