Why it matters
Nearly four in ten Oldham residents say they or someone in their household struggles to get online because they don’t have a suitable device. That’s not a small number. It affects job applications, benefits access, health appointments, school homework.
A working laptop or tablet doesn’t just close the gap, it opens a door.
