Assistive Technology Centre

Technology is now a big part of our daily lives, influencing how we learn, work, and stay connected. However, while many people benefit from the digital world, others are being left behind. Some struggle to afford internet access, lack the right devices, or do not have the skills to use technology confidently.

This gap creates real challenges, making it harder to find jobs, access services, or save money through online deals. Our goal is to ensure that everyone can benefit from digital opportunities while still having access to offline support if needed. To achieve this, we are taking action in Lambeth.

Now Millennium Community Solutions (MCS), founded by wheelchair user Gail Thompson, is proud to announce the launch of a pioneering new facility. In partnership with Lambeth Council, we unveiled the Lambeth Assistive Technology Centre in May 2025.

This groundbreaking initiative is open to everyone and empowers individuals with cognitive, hearing, visual or physical challenges to confidently use assistive technology and improve digital access.

This isn’t just about tech – it’s about people. It’s about helping individuals who are often left out of the digital world feel seen, supported and empowered. Whether you’re living with a visual, hearing or physical impairment or just feeling unsure about where to start with computers – we’re here for you.

Perhaps you’ve never used the internet, perhaps you’ve tried but found it confusing. Or maybe you just need a bit of support filling in an online form or booking a doctor’s appointment. Whatever your situation, we’ve got your back.

We have laptops, tablets and patient, friendly people ready to help. No pressure. No tech jargon. Just a warm, welcoming space where you can learn at your own pace.

Assistive technology can truly change lives. It can help you manage your benefits, stay on top of healthcare, apply for a Blue Badge, or simply keep in touch with loved ones.

So if you, or someone you care about, could benefit from a little digital support, come and see us. Have a chat, ask questions, and find out what’s possible.
