Greggs has teamed up with mobile phone provider Virgin Media O2 to give free mobile data to families in need.
Operating through the Greggs Hardship Fund, the new scheme will see free O2 SIM cards and voucher codes handed out to families who need them, through schools across the UK. Those who are given the cards and voucher cards will get 15GB of mobile data each – which is more than three times the amount used in a month by the average mobile phone user in the UK, according to Ofcom.
Trial locations for the scheme include schools in the North East, as well as Scotland, the South East and the Midlands. The Greggs Hardship Fund offers families a helping hand through the provision of supermarket and clothing vouchers, beds, white goods and other household items.
