With many organisations moving away from Windows 10, devices that are no longer suitable for business use can still be repurposed to support education. 

How it works

• If you already use an IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) provider, we can work directly with them to make sure suitable devices reach school children in Essex.
• If devices aren’t usable, we ask for the residual value to help us buy low-cost laptops.
• If you don’t have an ITAD, we can help. We recommend Vyta, but there are other approved providers we can work with.
• If you have Grade A (mint) or B (good) wiped devices that meet our specifications, you can donate them directly to us by pre-arranging delivery to County Hall, Chelmsford.  

Get involved

It’s a simple, cost-effective way to make a real difference in your community and show your commitment to sustainability and social value.
