“I hate seeing perfectly good computers going to waste when schools and charities nearby can’t afford enough of them.

I’ve spent years around businesses that refresh laptops on a schedule, and I kept thinking: there has to be a better way than paying to scrap them or leaving them taking up space in cupboards and storerooms.

I’ve also seen how much harder life is if you don’t have enough working laptops – for school classes or even for basic charity admin. There’s a simple, fixable gap between what companies throw away and what schools and charities desperately need.

Through this project, our small team is trying to close that gap in a practical, local way. We’ve set this up to make it as easy as possible for companies to do the right thing – with a free, efficient collection service and secure data wiping that’s compliant with GDPR and WEEE rules before anything is reused or recycled.

Because this is a brand‑new local initiative, your support now matters more than ever. You’re helping us build something that will keep helping local schools and charities long into the future.”
