Colliers Donates Surplus Tech to Youth Homelessness Charities Backed by LandAid

Posted by LandAid on 18th December 2024 -

LandAid works closely with Computers 4 Charity to refurbish surplus tech from their property partners and donates it to charities supporting young people facing homelessness. This partnership enables a sustainable supply of quality technology for LandAid’s network of charity partners.

Last week six charities, British DJMC Academy London, Youth & Community Connexions, YMCA London City & North, LGBTQ+ The Outside Project, Youth League UK and Change Please, received 50 laptops which have been refurbished and securely data wiped by Computers 4 Charity, at Colliers’ Wigmore Street headquarters.

We’re aware that even if these laptops are not fit for our purposes anymore, there’s still plenty of life in them. One of our company values is to do what’s right for our communities, which is why it was important for us to partner with LandAid and charities that are working to preventing homelessness, especially for young people who have had a difficult time so far. “There’s also an added sense of satisfaction that we’re not wasting the materials that we’ve already benefitted from and we’re preventing computer components from ending up in landfill, reducing emissions from technology.
