Helping More People Discover the Confidence to Go Digital
We've partnered with Par Bay Community Trust in Cornwall to help people who thought they'd never own a smartphone discover the confidence to get connected.

At Easology, we believe technology should bring people together, not leave them behind. That's why we're delighted to be working with Par Bay Community Trust in Cornwall – a wonderful charity dedicated to supporting its local community.
About Par Bay Community Trust
Established in 2014, Par Bay Community Trust serves the communities of Par, St Blazey and Tywardreath. Based at Cornubia Hall in Par, the charity works to reduce social isolation, improve health and wellbeing, develop skills, support education and provide a welcoming community hub where local people can learn, socialise and thrive. Through everything from wellbeing groups and community activities to NHS clinics, creative workshops and digital support, the Trust makes a real difference to people's lives every day.
Getting connected, together
As part of our partnership, the Trust has introduced Easology smartphones to members of the community who wanted to become more connected but felt that modern smartphones were simply too complicated. Many participants had previously said they would never own a smartphone.
Thanks to the incredible support and patience of trustee Sonia Clyne, those same people are now making fantastic progress. Learning together in a relaxed, friendly environment, the group has grown in confidence week by week. They're discovering how to make calls, send messages, take photos, keep in touch with family and friends, and enjoy all the benefits that smartphones can bring.
Perhaps most importantly, they're having fun along the way.
Designed for people new to smartphones
Easology has been designed specifically for people who are new to smartphones or who find today's technology overwhelming. With its clear layout, large icons and text, intuitive navigation, helpful accessibility features and ongoing UK-based support, Easology removes many of the barriers that prevent people from embracing technology.
This partnership perfectly demonstrates what can be achieved when the right technology is combined with outstanding community support. Together with Par Bay Community Trust, we're helping people build confidence, stay connected and discover that using a smartphone really can be enjoyable.
We look forward to continuing our partnership and helping even more people experience the benefits of simple, accessible technology.
