Virgin Media O2 UK Hand £2m to the Good Things Foundation

Broadband ISP and mobile giant Virgin Media and O2 (VMO2) has today donated £2m to support the Good Things Foundation’s initiatives, which was setup in 2021 to help “disadvantaged people” across the UK get online and gain the digital skills they need. The move makes VMO2 a strategic partner for the group.

The foundation does various things, such as provide free mobile broadband data via the ‘National Databank’ and supplying connectivity devices to those who need them in deprived communities. The partnership is also working to setup 5,000 Digital Inclusion Hubs across the UK, which they hope will enable 1 million people to get the internet access and digital skills they need by the end of 2025.

Nicola Green from VMO2 said: “As part of our pledge to upgrade the UK, we’re proudly building on our partnership with Good Things Foundation to help connect a million people experiencing digital isolation, helping them to get online and learn vital skills so they can use the internet, access essential services, and stay connected to loved ones.”
