Help Us Rebuild, Stay Secure & Keep Serving Our Community
After a devastating break-in at our office our second in recent years we're raising £15,500 to restore and sustain the vital support services we offer through our community-based Coffee Mornings and digital workshops.
Bridge the Gap Ending Digital Poverty C.I.C. supports people who are too often left behind:
- Older residents
- Neurodivergent individuals
- Asylum seekers and refugee families

Why our Coffee Mornings Matter
Even after facing a second devastating break-in, we refused to close our doors. We kept our Coffee Mornings going not just because they matter, but because our community matters.
These sessions aren’t just about tea and tech. They’re about creating a lifeline for those who feel forgotten in a fast-moving digital world. For older residents, neurodivergent individuals, asylum seekers, and others navigating life’s challenges, our Coffee Mornings offer a warm, judgement-free space to ask questions, get help, and simply feel seen.
With one-to-one support, device guidance, and encouragement, we build confidence from the ground up helping people stay connected, informed, and in control of their digital lives.
Your support helps us keep these mornings going and reminds us we’re not alone in this work.
