When and where
We run a donation station for technical devices once every 3 or 4 months, taking place during an HCA Saturday event
What
We collect unwanted devices including laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones. We pass these on to the lovely folk at Solidaritech https://solidaritech.com/ who repurpose them and pass them on to unwanted laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones, pass them on to asylum seekers and refugees, including those involved with Horsforth Town of Sanctuary. This helps them resolve their immigration status, pursue studies and start their lives in their new country.
Solidaritech professionally hard wipe your old hard drives, installing new Operating Systems to make a new, quicker and more usable machine.
What we want people to do
Bring your unwanted devices along to us at our next Donation Station. It really helps if you are able to factory reset your device before you bring it. If not we will try and help you do this, but please come early as it can take a while.. Please remember to bring your password! If you can’t remember your password and we can’t help you, you are still welcome to bring your device and sign a waiver. It will be sealed up and Solidaritech will hard wipe all your information.
Call for volunteers
If you are able to help at a donation station, factory resetting, labelling and bagging, we would love to hear from you.
