Have you got an old laptop or tablet you’re not using? We’re working with the Community Foundation for Staffordshire to provide recycled I.T. equipment to the people in our communities who need it most.
You can help by donating your old equipment at one of sixteen drop-off points, it will then be refurbished before going to someone who needs it.
Find your nearest drop off point (below) and arrange to donate the equipment you’re no longer using – it could be life changing for someone in our community.
Why donate?
Being digitally connected is essential for getting everyday tasks done, whether it's home learning, banking, shopping, applying for jobs or looking after your health. And it’s a vital way of reducing isolation and loneliness.
But there are still people in our communities who don’t have the I.T. equipment and internet connection they need.
We're doing our bit to help by setting up an I.T. equipment recycling scheme, in partnership with The Community Foundation for Staffordshire.
