Your community can turn unused tech into real funding.

Tech for Change helps schools, PTAs, charities and community groups launch a collection campaign. Your community donates unused phones, tablets, laptops and small IT equipmentβ€”then those devices generate funding for your cause through secure, environmentally responsible processing.

The Opportunity

Every organisation has fundraising potential sitting in desk drawers and closets.

Across the UK, unused devices sit in homes, offices and classrooms. Tech for Change transforms this into an opportunity: your community donates their devices, you generate funding, and the devices find a second life or get recycled responsibly.

Secure

Devices are handled through controlled processing and certified data destruction workflows.

Easy

Phones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches and small IT equipment can all contribute.

Funding

Financial returns are calculated clearly and paid back with transparent reporting.
