Memon Association Leicester Ltd

The Memon Association Ltd is a charity that recognised the need to create a central hub providing services that foster social connection and support educational and cultural learning. The organisation is driven by its core values including integrity, inclusivity, community and service, enabling it to continue making a positive impact within the community. Some of these services include financial assistance, which provides confidential support for families facing financial hardship and helps them navigate challenging circumstances. The charity also offers senior support services, promoting connection through social gatherings and providing assistance with errands and everyday tasks. Through a range of workshops and activities, it supports people from diverse backgrounds and is keen to expand opportunities for service users through better access to technology. Many of the beneficiaries supported by The Memon Association Ltd face increased isolation and reduced access to the essential support, services and resources they need, making digital inclusion an increasingly important area of focus for the organisation.

The Memon Association Leicester received a donated laptop. This IT equipment will support the charity in several ways across its expanding services and help strengthen opportunities for learning and community engagement. The laptop will contribute to the creation of a dedicated study area and homework club, providing individuals of all ages within the community with greater access to learning, research and educational opportunities. This will further mean that young people can build their confidence surrounding digital access while developing the practical skills needed to use technology safely and effectively. In addition, the device will support beneficiaries who may not otherwise have access to computers at home, helping to reduce barriers to education and participation.
