Refugee Week is 17–23 June 2024 and London Tech Week 10-14th June 2024 . SocialBox.Biz, based in the UK, a tech-focused community interest company, is celebrating ten years of impact.

A former child refugee founded the organization with the intention of helping the impoverished learn IT skills by using donated and repurposed equipment. The initiative is expanding to reach more organizations willing to donate their unwanted IT equipment before it is recycled as scrap. Donations assist the homeless and elderly pensioners.
