So nice to Mer-IT flourishing and doing what they do best 🤩

We recently invited local organisations to apply to become a Mer-IT Hub in Islington Council, and we were overwhelmed to receive over 30 applications. Choosing only six was incredibly difficult, and we want to thank every single group that took the time to apply.

We are now proud to announce the six partners who will take part on the Pilot: The Peel Clerkenwell, Help on Your Doorstep, Kurdish and Middle Eastern Women's Organisation (KMEWO), HealthProm, Single Homeless Project and The Gap Mentoring.

This is all made possible by the funding from Clerkenwell Councillors: Hayes for Clerkenwell, Ben Mackmurdie and Matt Nathan, alongside a donation of 200+ laptops from Mayor Jason Jackson. Together, we’re making sure no one in Islington is left behind.

The best support is the one that gives you the freedom to develop in your own way.

But it often goes unnoticed.

First invited us to the area, FBC Clerkenwell hosted us for years, Ruth Hayes for Clerkenwell supported us with an amazing funding opportunity and recently Jason Jackson, Mayor of diverted equipment to us.

Thank you!
2026 is the year we show the impact of that support.
Our Free Computers for Islington residents in need is coming soon.

Stay tuned for more details.
