First Class Technologies (FCT) is delighted to be continuing to help The Community Foundation for Staffordshire with its Donate IT Digital Scheme.
First Class is helping The Community Foundation for Staffordshire by reviewing the donated PCs, laptops and tablets to establish whether they can be successfully factory reset and reformatted to extend the life of each device, before undertaking the process in our Lichfield premises.
So far, the company has invested over 150 man hours to review and refurbish over 200 redundant computers, laptops and tablets.
For most of us, being online is an everyday part of life. However, there are still a significant number of people who don’t have access to such technology. As a result, some of the everyday tasks that most of us take for granted, like online shopping and internet banking, are unavailable to those without access.
For those who are able to live their lives using the internet, the ever-changing improvement in the technological capabilities of such equipment provides a temptation to keep upgrading to the latest and greatest device, leaving a plethora of unloved electronic units that could end up in landfill if they can’t be rehomed.
It’s for this reason that a number of recycling centres have been set up around Staffordshire for people to donate pre-loved equipment so it can be refurbished and offered to someone in need.
If you would like further information or wish to donate some equipment, please email office@staffordshire.foundation for more details.
