Our delivery yesterday of a laptop to a housebound client of Cerebral Palsy Mid Staffs (CPMS) saw us smash this impressive milestone!
Thank you to everyone who's donated equipment and funds to …
Nearing another milestone!

A 'bug' in our system!
Huge thanks again to Midland VW, Volkswagen specialist in Cannock, who not only sponsored one of our biggest projects in our early days, but who have also now pledged to donate all of their unwanted I.T. equipment!
Rapidly getting closer!
With the addition of 6 units gifted to 2078 Boscobel Air Cadets today, we've now refurbished and handed over a total of 454 internet ready devices since we formed last January :)
And that's not counting the monitors, speaker sets, keyboards and mice that you lovely people have donated to tu…
Back to school!
It's time for another thankyou...
They very kindly allowed us to dig through their surplus I.T. equipment before it's disposed, and we've taken away a pile of kit, some of which we've already rehomed, and some which you'll see popping up on our good n…
Thanks for thinking of us!
More huge thanks due, this time to 848 IT Services at Beaconside.
They thought of us before heading to the tip, and donated a 'sizeable' stack of their redundant equipment for us to refurbish and give away

A testing time!
To raise our project some extra cash we're now offering PAT testing at £3 per item.
We'll provide a full written certification plus the familiar green stickers.
Get in touch to learn more, or see the "PAT" section here on our website 
It's not useless!
Do you have an old iPad that won't update any more, and will no longer run your favourite apps?
Don't take it to the tip, drop it in to us!
Some schools have the ability to re-use them, to install their own educational software, which is compatible with even the older versions of iOS and bypas…
No horsing around!
Massive respects to Vicki and the team at Online For Equine in Hixon, for thinking of us before they headed to the tip...
They've donated a huge stack of their redundant equipment which we'll now put through our secure erase procedure to ensure all of their remaining business data is destroyed, t…
A pause for Easter!
Please note our donation point at Highfields is temporarily closed and will re-open Thurs 21st April
Blankety blank!
* Secure erasing *
A common question we're asked is if, and how, we'll make sure any existing data is erased from your donation. And yes, we do, so please make sure you've taken a back up of your important stuff before you donate, because once it's gone, it's really gone!
As for the how, wel…

We rely on our volunteers to help us deliver items to their new homes around their own commitments, and this can cause delays in applicants receiving an item.
We will now offer to post items. We'…
