About

Jay Baker, a graduate of the School for Social Entrepreneurs and founder of SilenceBreaker Media, launched this organisation under that name in 2010, before it grew and evolved into Libre Digital - but the focus has always been to utilise the power of multimedia to shed light on issues, spaces, and people from the margins.

Operating out of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, we initially focused on refurbishing donated computers, and our FreeTech Project proved particularly popular as we worked with libraries across the sub-region to help equip (particularly disadvantaged) communities with the skills to utilise technology to become better connected and informed. At our ten year anniversary, in 2020, we switched our delivery to online only at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, which very much remains with us.

Now with a collective effort through a vibrant and diverse team of directors, volunteers, and freelancers, Libre Digital continues the FreeTech Project and has more recently begun Brink.
