Everton in the Community Partner Causeway Technologies has donated £25,000 to the Club’s official charity to help tackle digital poverty amongst school children living in Liverpool City Region.

Digital poverty has been on the rise during the coronavirus pandemic as a large percentage of pupils from low-income families have been restricted from participating in home schooling because of a lack of access to core digital infrastructure such as a laptop or an internet connection.

And once construction software provider Causeway Technologies became aware of this widening education gap with many children missing out on valuable learning opportunities, they were keen to play their part in helping local disadvantaged children overcome this hurdle.

Everton in the Community works with more than 60 partner schools across Merseyside and during the pandemic, has increased its outreach work to provide further support to families who have been identified as a top priority and may be struggling due to loss of income.
