If you have a laptop, PC, tablet or smartphone that you no longer use - it could be donated to someone in need
In partnership with Brighton Digital Festival, we are collecting device donations from residents and businesses to support the local community. While we can accept devices of all ages and conditions, ex-business devices that no longer meet your company's complex needs are often ideal for education or personal use.
All devices will go through Tech-Takeback's certificated data-erasure process to permanently remove all of your personal data. Devices that are suitable for reuse will be refurbished and reloaded with a new operating system before being donated to schoolchildren, families and vulnerable members of the community by our redistribution partners. You just need to turn up during the festival times at Lighthouse and we'll take it from there! 29/10-7/11 - Lighthouse Arts, 28 Kensington Street, Brighton, BN1 4AJ 10:00-17:30 |
