Tech4Communities wants to support Gateshead communities who are excluded from the online world.
People and small businesses can donate unused laptops, tablets, and phones at community sites across Gateshead that have partnered for the project.
Each device will be securely stored and transported. Devices will be wiped and refurbished by a tech company with more than 20 years of experience working with banks and government services, and with the appropriate ADISA certification.
Devices will be donated back to support people in Gateshead accessing online services, health services, employment, education, connect with friends and family, and make the most of any opportunity.
We will open the donation request form once we have devices ready to be distributed, and this will be supported by local organisations that will be able to provide more holistic support if someone needs it.
Email Alessandra.Mondin@ConnectedVoice.org.uk for any questions and further information. If you are a business who wishes to donate a larger number of devices, please email to arrange a bespoke collection.
