About us

What is Plug the Gap?

We are a Community Interest Company dedicated to decreasing digital poverty and helping the people who need it most to get online.

Closing the digital divide

We love what we do.

Plug the Gap supports not-for-profit organisations and the individuals they work with. That can mean providing devices to get online, training people to use technology, or offering technical support and consultancy.

Plug the Gap started in January 2021 as an appeal run by Norfolk Community Foundation with Candour and Osiris IT, raising funds for laptops and internet access for young people during the pandemic. In April 2022 it became Plug the Gap Services CIC, a social enterprise carrying that work on across Norfolk.

“Plug the Gap is our opportunity to give back to the community that has given so much to us.”
Phillip Roffe, Director
