Transforming lives with computers for charity causes
Computers 4 Charity is a registered UK technology charitty.
Our team has been refurbishing computers since 1996, for 25 years and our vision is to provide the best green IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) solution possible with full Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) fulfilment.
Our holistic approach to computer refurbishment is designed around providing a green IT sustainability service to benefit climate and our ethical donation cycle to benefit community.
As a computer recycling charity we provide end to end PC, computer and laptop refurbishment and reuse from donor to beneficiary and give a whole new dimension to corporate and individual environmental and social responsibility.
We securely and safely refurbish your unwanted or surplus laptops, computers or old IT equipment and donate it to charity causes across the UK.
Refurbished Computers
Our reconditioned computers are more capable than equivalently priced new devices, just as reliable and far better for the environment.
Caring for Climate and Community
We don’t just data wipe, we upgrade and donate free-of-charge for reuse as much as possible to other charities, recycle as few as possible and waste none.
We dismantle, refurbish, rebuild and upgrade PCs doubling their working lives from 5 years to 10, and laptops from 3 to 6 years.
Climate
Each device given a 2nd life through upgrade means a new one does not have to be manufactured and over 80% of a computer’s carbon footprint is in its production; every refurbished laptop saving the planet from 150kg of CO2 emissions and each desktop 250kg of CO2.
We offer you Carbon Emission Reduction Certificates to help you achieve Net Zero.
Community
Our ethical donation cycle breathes new life into your surplus technology, benefiting educational and charitable causes.
As a charity we give-away all we can free-of-charge and are self-funding through the sales of surplus parts and equipment.
We also provide previously unemployed young people with jobs and training creating social value from the refurbishing process.
Do some good with your unused laptops, tablets and PCs. Have them refurbished and donated to young carers, homeless youth, hospices, charity volunteers, unemployed veterans, bereaved forces children, UK schools and UK charities supporting schools in Africa.
Empowering NEET Young People
NEET work experience placements are unpaid voluntary roles designed to help young people (not in education, employment, or training) to gain valuable experience and contribute towards starting their career.
We encourage applications from all young people that are eager to learn, develop their skills and want to be part of a team. We positively endorse diversity and inclusion within the workplace and welcome interest from individuals that identify as being neuro diverse.
“With the support from Computers 4 Charity, we have been able to better serve our community. The donated laptops will be used by people supported by our charity to complete online training courses, improve digital skills and help in the search for employment.”
