Welcome to

Every Child Online

Transforming Surplus Technology into Opportunity, Safety and Lasting Impact

Every Child Online is one of the UK's leading digital inclusion and online safety charities.

Since 2021, we have helped more than 80,000 children and young adults, redistributed over 53,000 devices, diverted 446 tonnes of electronic waste from landfill, and prevented an estimated 19.4 million kilograms of CO₂ emissions from entering the atmosphere.

We believe no child should be excluded from education, opportunities, or essential services because they cannot access technology. Equally, no child should face the digital world without the knowledge and support needed to stay safe online.

Working alongside businesses, schools, local authorities and community organisations, we securely collect, data erase, refurbish and redistribute unwanted technology, giving laptops, desktops, tablets and mobile phones a second life in the hands of those who need them most.

Through our Safe and Smart Online programme, we also help children, parents and educators understand and respond to the growing risks of cybercrime, online grooming, scams, bullying, exploitation and harmful online content.

For our corporate partners, Every Child Online delivers more than a charitable donation. We help organisations extend the life of their technology assets, reduce e-waste, strengthen ESG and sustainability reporting, engage employees, create measurable social value and demonstrate meaningful community impact.

Whether you are an IT leader managing surplus technology, an ESG team seeking measurable outcomes, a sustainability professional driving circular economy initiatives, or a CSR team looking to create genuine social impact, partnering with Every Child Online turns redundant technology into life-changing opportunities.

Together, we are creating a future where every child can learn, create, connect and stay safe online.

Real stories. Real impact.

From families and schools to donors and young people, hear how Every Child Online is closing the digital divide one device, one lesson, one life at a time.

Request supportMeet the team behind the mission

Rev. Valerie T. Lolomari

CEO, Women of Grace UK

Women of Grace UK’s partnership with Every Child Online has been truly impactful. The devices provided have empowered young people, opening access to learning, personal development and wellbeing support. Surplus tech now supports our programmes and helps children stay connected, build skills and thrive. For many families, it’s been life-changing—breaking isolation and boosting confidence. We’re deeply grateful and commend ECO for creating lasting impact.

Risk in the Community team

Thank you again for the mobile phones for our young people—they’re making a big difference to their lives. Here's some of their feedback: “I can’t believe they gave me an iPhone; I’m so happy,” “They’re sound for giving me a phone,” “My family and social worker can contact me now,” and “I’m no longer the only person without a phone.”

Alex

Southchurch High School

We are wanting to raise the attainment and aspirations of our students many of whom have no devices at home. Enabling our students access in school is so important and this will make such a difference.

Louisa Strachan

Founder and Director of The Song School

Music Production is another example of how music education is the most expensive extracurricular activity for young people – with a typical set up costing around £1,200 per person. The new partnership with Every Child Online works towards helping to give all young people equal opportunities to enhance skills that can be taken into adulthood.

Jacqui Boulamatsis

Independent Missing Chat Project Worker

Every Child Online closes the digital divide by transforming surplus laptops, PCs and phones into tools that help young people learn, create, connect and stay safe. Through its “IT Full Circle” approach, each donation becomes a journey from unused tech to confident, capable users. For vulnerable children, access can be a lifeline—keeping them contactable and supported. As a Local Authority, we find ECO invaluable in supporting our young people.

Jenny Ibarra

Centre Manager for Signpost

Our employability work reveals how many families still lack digital equipment. We approached Every Child Online and they were amazing—now partners, we’ve helped over 300 families and individuals in Basildon close that divide. A joint giveaway changed family dynamics, and with our new Eastgate centre we’re excited to grow the collaboration. Thank you, Mike and team—you’re our digital heroes.

DOA

Underwriting

We discovered Every Child Online in 2022 and, since then, our unused IT has gone nowhere else. As a family-run business, we’re passionate about giving back—donating our old laptops and computers supports digital learning and helps young people build skills they need to succeed. We’re honoured to keep contributing to their mission and supporting their incredible work.

Michelle Blythe

Senior Social, Impact Manager for Kennedys

Digital poverty stops too many children and young people reaching their potential. Every Child Online closes this gap by donating high-spec refurbished devices. Working with ECO unites our people, linking IT teams to projects aligned with our Thrive Together programme and 2030 goals. Partnering with ECO creates impact beyond our direct involvement and leaves a lasting legacy. Their reach is growing, and we’re excited to keep building together.

Claire Renouf

Head of IT Operations, Kennedys

It’s been a pleasure to work with Every Child Online and see the difference our donations make. The partnership fits our sustainable practices and helps give opportunities to young people by closing the digital divide—something Kennedys is passionate about. We’re proud to be the first law firm to support the charity, will continue the partnership, and hope it inspires other firms to get involved.
