Founder, The Million People Project
Warren Milburn
Warren is a seasoned IT professional with a background in managed services and digital infrastructure - but his most impactful work began at home during the 2020 lockdown.
While the world slowed down, Warren saw something others overlooked: families being quietly left behind, unable to access school, work, or essential services simply because they lacked a working laptop.
Drawing on his technical expertise, he began fixing and rehoming donated devices from local businesses - one machine, one household at a time.

While the world slowed down, Warren saw something others overlooked: families being quietly left behind, unable to access school, work, or essential services simply because they lacked a working laptop. Drawing on his technical expertise, he began fixing and rehoming donated devices from local businesses — one machine, one household at a time.
​
That small act of compassion became The Million People Project — a movement to restore dignity, opportunity, and access to those excluded by digital poverty.
​
Today, Warren leads the project alongside his team at InfraZen, where they securely wipe, refurbish, and repurpose tech for families across the UK and grassroots initiatives overseas. His unwavering belief is that:
​
“Tech should be a lifeline, not a luxury.”
​
Driven by lived experience, Warren’s mission blends grassroots action with scalable infrastructure — proving that real impact starts with a single device and a willingness to act.

Stuart Upson
Stuart is a branding and design expert who joined The Million People Project to help amplify its message, mission and momentum.
After meeting founder Warren Milburn, he was inspired to volunteer his time and creative expertise - shaping the brand identity, voice, and visual world of the movement.
​
For Stuart, this isn’t just about design - it’s about equality of opportunity.
(Founder & Creative Director, Absolute Mustard®)
“It kills me to think of the divide in the world - the haves and have-nots are drifting further apart, and most of us don’t even realise how privileged we are to simply log in.”
​​​
Whether it’s a UK family juggling two schoolkids and one old laptop, or a group of girls in a newly-liberated community learning for the first time - the impact of a single device can be profound.
​
Stuart believes that everyone deserves a chance - and that far too many amazing humans never get the opportunity to excel at what they’re truly good at. He sees this project as a small (yet powerful) part of a bigger solution - one that blends creativity, compassion, and action to help close the digital divide for good.
