Can you Give It Up? However long you dare to, from a week to a whole month, let's see how far your forgoing can go!

The best part is that you can raise funds for the Keeping Digital Foundation, helping us give more young people valuable skills through our digital making activities and helping us support more local residents in getting connected through our Digital Cafe service.
