A message from our CEO
Throughout the pandemic, Vodafone UK has been keeping the UK connected and supporting vulnerable customers, NHS and care workers, and disadvantaged families as best we can.
We've donated 350,000 SIMs with free data to schools, with another 150,000 SIMs available through the Mail Force Computers for Kids initiative.
Through our Great British Tech Appeal, we've distributed around 6,000 smartphones and tablets to families who lack connectivity, with the help of our charity partner Barnardo's.
We've offered unlimited mobile plans for just £10 a month for six months to help job seekers.
And we'll be there to help the UK as we recover from the pandemic, too.
Take care.
Ahmed Essam, CEO, Vodafone UK
