Computers for Charity is a non-profitmaking organisation whose aim is to promote access to, and use of, Information Technology by community groups. We achieve our aim by recycling computer systems donated by industry thereby helping to close the loop and reduce waste. We were established in 1993 in response to a need expressed by the various voluntary organisations our members were involved with at the time. One of the main concerns expressed was the high cost of obtaining useful computer systems, even though companies were regularly updating their systems and throwing out the old systems.
It costs time and money to upgrade PC systems and transfer data, not all of which might be removed from the old equipment. We indemnify you against any, and all, third-party claims arising from use of the donated equipment. We will remove all data from magnetic storage media within the equipment. We will collect the donated equipment free of charge.
Volunteers are a vital resource to the community group and anything which makes their work easier can only benefit the organisation. Information technology in the form of personal computer systems is something which can help your volunteers to do their work and improve the services you can offer your community. We can offer you the chance to obtain a computer system delivered and installed for a very low cost. All our recycled systems are guaranteed for three months. New components are guaranteed for one year and telephone support is available should your volunteers experience any difficulties.
Where Do Your Computers Go?First we collect computer systems from across the UK using our own vans and couriers. These are brought to our main depot in Cornwall where they are cleaned, refurbished and made ready for export.
I Have Computers To DonateComputers For Charity was the first such organisation to begin recycling computers for community groups way back in June 1993. We value the difficulties facing businesses trying to balance the needs of legislation, data security and financial budgets.

Concern For IndustryWe appreciate the economic and security concerns of industry. It costs time and money to upgrade PC systems and transfer data, not all of which might be removed from the old equipment. For this reason we offer our benefactors three guarantees.
