Support a Digital Inclusion Charity | Computer Aid

Computer Donations

Donating computers to Computer Aid means your IT equipment gets a second life, reaches people who need it, and delivers measurable impact your business can report on. We manage the entire process, from secure collection to certified data destruction, refurbishment, and global distribution. Over 27 years, we have placed more than 287,000 devices into schools, NGOs, and community organisations across 115 countries. 

 

How Does the Computer Donation Process Work? 

Getting started is straightforward. Contact our team, tell us what equipment you have, and we arrange collection directly from your site at no cost for bulk donations. From there, we handle everything. 

Every device is wiped to UK Government-approved data destruction standards, refurbished by qualified technicians, and placed into a verified education or community project. You receive certified documentation at every stage and a full impact report showing where your equipment went. Take a look at il nostro lavoro to see the projects your donation supports.

 

What Computers Can You Donate? 

We accept a wide range of IT equipment from businesses, whether from a scheduled technology refresh or a recent office upgrade. 

Devices that work best for refurbishment: 

  • Laptops and desktops with Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 processors 
  • Minimum 4GB RAM and 250GB storage 
  • Under seven years old and in working condition 

Equipment outside these criteria is still accepted and responsibly recycled through certified channels, covering your WEEE obligations in full. 

 

What Does Your Business Get in Return? 

A computer donation through Computer Aid is not a one-way transaction: 

  • Certified data destruction documentation for every device 
  • Full WEEE compliance records for your legal and finance teams 
  • An impact report covering where your equipment went and who it reached 
  • ESG-reportable outcomes across both environmental and social performance 
  • Corporation tax relief eligibility, as Computer Aid is a UK-registered charity 

For businesses wanting to go further, you can fund a project or sponsor a tailored initiative alongside your equipment donation. Many of our corporate partners do both. You can also explore our Servizio di smaltimento IT if your equipment requires a more comprehensive managed solution
