Who can apply?
The programme is intended for UK schools, academies, colleges, registered charities and genuine not-for-profit community organisations. We prioritise applications where equipment can create a clear educational, community or charitable benefit.
What equipment may be available?
Availability depends entirely on hardware returning from rental and passing our reuse checks. It may include business laptops, chargers, docks, monitors or related equipment. We cannot guarantee a make, model, cosmetic grade, specification, quantity or delivery date.
How returned equipment is prepared
Suitable equipment is securely sanitised before reuse, checked for functionality and prepared for its next user. Where returned equipment has become WEEE and is prepared for reuse, our process is designed around applicable BS EN 50614:2020 principles and Environment Agency requirements. We do not claim that donated hardware carries a BSI Kitemark unless expressly stated.
Important programme conditions
