What to expect
WaveLength provides free TVs, tablets, radios and SIM cards to groups and individuals who have been referred by a third party to help fight loneliness. Technology is gifted to individuals in need of financial and practical support who struggle to leave their own homes due to age, illness, disability or difficult personal circumstances.
WaveLength also works with groups supporting vulnerable people, including the elderly, victims of domestic violence, the homeless and adults with learning difficulties, providing them with technology that can be used on-site or loaned to individuals they are helping.
