Give Old Computers a Second Life: Donate to a Good Cause

Technology moves fast, and it’s easy to overlook the impact of older computers gathering dust in cupboards and storerooms. But what if those devices whether vintage classics or modern systems could be revived and put to good use? That’s exactly what I do.

Restoring the Past, Empowering the Present

I have a deep passion for restoring and refurbishing vintage computers, carefully documenting their history and ensuring they continue to function for years to come. However, my work goes beyond retro machines—I also rescue modern systems, anything capable of running a browser, with the goal of giving them a second chance.

When I refurbish contemporary computers, they don’t just sit on a shelf. They go to charities that help people in and around Swindon and Wiltshire gain digital access and online opportunities. With the right repairs and care, an old computer can become a vital tool for education, employment, and communication.

How Your Donations Make a Difference

If you have computers, parts, or accessories sitting unused, consider donating them. I accept both vintage and modern systems, and every working machine finds a meaningful new purpose.

For modern systems, once cleaned, repaired, and fully restored, they are donated to excellent charities such as:

• Wiltshire Digital Drive – This initiative provides laptops and other devices to schools, charities, and individuals in need, ensuring digital access for those who might otherwise struggle.
• Reboot IT Project – This program helps refurbish and redistribute computers to those who require them, making technology more accessible to the local community.

How You Can Help

If you have an old laptop, desktop, or computer parts—whether vintage or modern—please consider donating. Every system, regardless of age, has the potential to serve a meaningful purpose, whether as a preserved relic of computing history or as a lifeline for someone in need today.
