Upper Hutt Libraries offers the Skinny Jump programme in partnership with the Digital Inclusion Alliance Aotearoa.

Skinny Jump is designed for households at risk of digital exclusion and those in our community who don't have a broadband connection.

Participants receive a free modem and 35GB of data for $5 on the pre-pay service with no fixed contract. Read more on the Skinny Jump website.

Skinny Jump is available if you identify with one or more of the following groups:

  • families with children in low socio-economic communities,
  • people with disabilities,
  • migrants and refugees who use English as a second language,
  • Māori and Pasifika youth,
  • offenders and ex-offenders,
  • seniors, and
  • people living in social housing.
