Together, the organizations have also undertaken specific projects in Sweden, for example for new arrivals in Sweden and for unaccompanied refugee children and young people. During the spring, the collaboration has developed and taken the next step, including by offering connectivity and an opportunity for Tele2 staff to support social entrepreneurs during their working hours. Tele2 has now decided to support Reach for Change for a further three years until 2025.
