Tesco Mobile

Tesco Mobile, like us, believes that everyone has the right to be connected and should be able to afford life’s essentials. That’s why we’re partnering with them to keep people facing hardship connected, one little help at a time.

Connection is one of life’s essentials, like a loaf of bread or a tube of toothpaste. Without it, people are locked out of life-changing services, held back from opportunities, and cut off from loved ones.

Take Sabrina for example, who was referred to a food bank and receives social security payments as she is unable to work due to her disability. She explained that her phone and internet are her lifeline to the outside world:

Tesco Mobile has committed to connecting 50,000 people who are facing hardship by 2025. It will distribute SIMs and data via our community of food banks through the Little Helps Databank scheme, as well as offer devices and connectivity to help the food banks themselves run as effectively as possible through the Connected Food Banks scheme.

As part of its activity, Tesco Mobile is pledging to donate an initial 2 million GB of data to the Little Helps Databank through the Tesco Food Collection (which took place in December 2022). Keeping people facing hardship connected, one little help at a time.
