Databank

Redbridge Libraries helping you stay connected!

Are you struggling to pay your monthly mobile bills? Then Redbridge Libraries could help! We are participating in the National Databank Programme to provide free internet access to anyone struggling to afford to get online.  

The following data is available to eligible participants for up to 6 months:  
O2 Pay as you go. 20GB, free calls and texts for 30 days from activation   
Vodafone 20GB, free calls and texts  
Three 24GB in total  

We regret that no other networks are currently supported through this scheme. You will need to provide your own device to use with the data plan.  

We have a limited number of SIM cards available each month. These will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis and must be collected in person from one of the following libraries: Fullwell Cross, Gants Hill, Goodmayes, Hainault, Keith Axon, Redbridge Central or Wanstead.  

Cards and vouchers will only be issued to you if there are enough supplies. If demand exceeds the amount of SIM cards, you will be placed on a waiting list and offered a card or voucher at the next available opportunity.   

It’s very simple to apply – Just pop into one of the participating libraries or contact them by phone or email: 

There are no deadlines, applications can be made at any time.  

If you are unsure if you qualify, then please contact your local branch for a confidential chat.
