People who are digitally excluded can experience poorer mental and physical health, miss out on work opportunities and become socially isolated.

Imagine not being able to apply for jobs, book a doctor’s appointment, or help your children with homework because you don’t have a computer. For thousands of people, this is reality.

21% of Brighton and Hove's population don't have access to a laptop or computer at home. That's enough people to fill the London O2 arena three times over!

Stories of change

Every laptop generates social value. Download a sample report.

Every year, millions of tonnes of electronic waste end up in landfill or incineration, polluting soil, releasing toxic chemicals and wasting precious resources. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

At Tech-Takeback Foundation, we’re turning the tide, keeping unwanted laptops in use and out of landfill, and protecting the environment while helping people in need.

Every laptop we reuse means fewer raw materials mined, less energy consumed, and less pollution released. It’s a simple, powerful act of sustainability.
