You may know that Orange is part of the EE family of brands. EE recently announced an exciting new goal to improve the digital skills of one million people in the UK through a number of initiatives. 

There are around 16 million people who are at a disadvantage because they have very limited digital skills or because they are not online at all. 

We have made the difficult decision to focus our resources where we can make the biggest impact. As a result, we will be phasing out Do Some Good over the next month and the app will close on 26 June.
