It aims to "end digital disadvantage” in the East End by making sure all children have digital devices and internet connection. The campaign by the Tower Hamlets Education Partnership charity involves the local authority and Community Fibre broadband provider to get computers into every child's home. "It’s important that they're able to get online for their education," the charity's Brendan Crossan said. “There is no doubt that Covid-19 may continue to have an impact on children’s learning."
