Every Child Online (ECO) is proud to announce its new role as the official charity partner of Excel London, one of Europe’s most iconic international event venues. This collaboration marks a powerful step forward in tackling digital exclusion and inspiring the next generation of digital innovators.
Every Child Online is the driving force behind thousands of young people gaining access to technology, skills, and online safety knowledge that can shape their futures. Our initiatives go beyond closing the digital divide, we are sparking creativity, confidence, and career aspirations in children and young adults who might otherwise never discover their digital potential.
With more than four million visitors and 400 major events each year, Excel London provides an unparalleled platform to showcase ECO’s mission to some of the world’s most forward-thinking businesses. Over 35,000 exhibiting companies across sectors will now have the opportunity to connect with our work, contribute to digital inclusion, and strengthen their own sustainability and ESG commitments through meaningful partnership.
Michael Tarbard, CEO & Founder, Every Child Online comments
“This partnership is about more than providing access to devices, it’s about unlocking futures. By working with Excel and its global network, we can equip children and young people not just to connect, but to create, to be safe online, and to see themselves as the digital leaders of tomorrow.”
From professional IT asset disposal partnerships with UK industry leaders to grassroots projects that give young people their first computer, ECO is reshaping how surplus technology can be turned into opportunity. Together with Excel London UK event organisers and business leaders, we will inspire companies to act, empower children to thrive, and ensure no young person is left behind in the digital age.
Aligning Purpose with Scale
Through this partnership, ECO will showcase its work at Excel’s flagship events, engaging directly with enterprise leaders, sustainability officers, and IT decision-makers. Together with its social enterprise, Everyone Digital CIC, ECO delivers professional, accredited IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) services, ensuring data security, compliance, and environmental best practice for corporate donors while powering digital inclusion projects across the UK.
Shared Commitment to Sustainability
Excel London’s Sustainability & Legacy programme is central to its operations, focusing on cutting carbon emissions, reducing waste, and creating positive community impact. Alongside partnerships with Neighbourly, City Harvest, Fareshare, and The Felix Project, Every Child Online now joins Excel’s mission to connect business with purpose, tackling urgent social and environmental challenges.
Natalie Sykes, Head of Corporate Responsibility Operations at Excel
