Creating a Connected London, One Data Waypoint at a Time
At IFB Gaming, we believe that digital inclusion is not a luxury—it’s a lifeline. Empowering Futures is our flagship initiative, designed to create a borough-wide network of Data Waypoints that bring free mobile data, digital devices, and tailored support directly into the heart of London communities.
From Oct 2024 to Oct 2026, Empowering Futures will transform local spaces—community hubs, libraries, shelters, schools, and places of worship—into fully equipped connectivity touchpoints that empower residents and bridge the digital divide.
Empowering Futures: What Are Data Waypoints?
Data Waypoints are trusted, local access points where people and organisations can:
- Receive support with access through SIM cards/mobile data
- Loan or receive digital devices to get connected
- Access digital skills training and support services
- Share community insights to shape borough-wide digital policy
Our Vision
We’re building more than just connectivity—we’re building community infrastructure that is:
- People-powered: Co-designed with grassroots organisations
- Place-based: Delivered where it’s needed most
- Policy-shaping: Informs inclusive digital strategies for Southwark
By the end of the two-year period, our goal is to see a fully connected Southwark, where every individual—regardless of age, background, or circumstance—has access to the tools, knowledge, and opportunities needed to thrive in a digital world.
