Donate to Our Refurbishment Partners
We have two organisations in Tameside who refurbish and distribute devices to Tameside residents, Tameside Community Computers CIC, and PCrefurb.
Both organisations are always on the lookout for donations of devices that can be data wiped and fully refurbished, ready to be given to a resident in need.
