FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sustainable Tech 4 Good Empowers Steel Bones with Mobile Devices to Strengthen Inclusive Support for Amputee Families
Steel Bones, a UK-based charity supporting amputee families, is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Sustainable Tech 4 Good, who have generously donated several smartphones and an iPad to enhance the charity’s communication and outreach efforts.
The donated devices will enable the Steel Bones team to engage more efficiently and inclusively with its community of beneficiaries, particularly through dedicated WhatsApp groups. These digital spaces play a vital role in reducing isolation, sharing timely updates, and providing peer-to-peer support across the UK.
“We’re so grateful to Sustainable Tech 4 Good for this meaningful donation,” said Emma Joy-Staines. CEO at Steel Bones. “Having these devices means our team can stay connected with the families we support – especially those in rural areas or without easy access to other forms of communication. It’s a game-changer for building stronger, more inclusive networks.”
Sustainable Tech 4 Good is a socially-conscious, sustainable business committed to reducing e-waste by securely data-erasing and refurbishing all excess tech from large corporates and repurposing digital devices for reuse by organisations making a social impact. Their support of Steel Bones reflects a shared belief in the power of technology to improve lives and promote community cohesion.
This partnership also highlights the growing importance of sustainable digital inclusion, especially for marginalised groups such as the amputee community, who often face barriers in accessing services and staying connected.
Steel Bones plans to use the devices to grow local WhatsApp groups, expand real-time support services, and better respond to individual needs across its nationwide network.
