About
Community TechAid is an award-winning charity tackling digital poverty in south London by providing sustainable access to technology, skills, and opportunities to get online.
We operate a circular economy: collecting, repairing, and redistributing unwanted devices like laptops and smartphones to those who need them most, while reducing e-waste and promoting sustainability.
We also offer corporate volunteering opportunities, providing hands-on experiences in refurbishing tech and contributing directly to our mission. Partnering with us is not just a better solution for responsibly managing your e-waste and decommissioned tech—it’s an opportunity to generate real social and environmental value.
By engaging with Community TechAid, businesses can actively support their ESG goals, divert devices from landfill, and make a measurable impact in the local community.
Join us in creating a more inclusive and sustainable digital future.
