Giving back 
We teach digital skills. A laptop is often the one thing standing between a young person and those skills. So every year we pass on refurbished corporate laptops, and we give our time.
Places we have taught in, free of charge, alongside our paid work.
Time given
Social Media Graphic Design in Canva
Delivered for the girls' badge work project: designing graphics for a cause they chose themselves.

Young Creators: Create Your First Website
Two hours a session, across four to five sessions. We rewrote the whole approach for this group, and still had more prepared than we could cover, because curious students always ask for more.
Laptops that keep learning going
Each year we buy a batch of corporate laptops, have them refurbished properly, and give them to young people who need one to keep learning. Our supplier upgrades the RAM, reinstalls the drivers and licenses Microsoft Office, so the machine arrives ready to work.
We do not run a public application form. Non-profits and organisations working with beneficiaries write to us, and we decide together who the laptops go to and how many are left for the year.
- Typically four to six laptops per organisation
- Applications close 30 November each year
- Laptops are wiped, refurbished and licensed before handover
- We prioritise young people learning a new skill, or needing a laptop to continue their studies
What we need from you
- Who you are, and who you work with
- How many laptops you are asking for
- Who will receive them, and what they will use them for
- Whether the recipients are studying, or learning a new skill
Write in through the enquiry form and mark it as a laptop sponsorship. We reply within two to five working days.
Hours counted are teaching hours only. Preparation typically runs at twice the delivery time, and is not counted here.
Out in the community
We partner non-profits every year
Invite us to your youth programme. Each workshop runs about two hours, and all we need is laptops and Wi-Fi for the participants. Tell us the ages and the group size. These sessions work best with ages 13 and up, where participants can think through copywriting, marketing and design ideas, though we have taught younger groups too.

Is your company retiring laptops?
If the machines are still in good condition, consider donating them instead of disposing of them. We will have them refurbished and pair you with an organisation that needs them.
