Transforming Lives in Wandsworth: A Huge Thank You to Sidley Austin
At Power to Connect, we believe that access to technology is a right, not a privilege. That is why we are thrilled to share some fantastic news: Sidley Austin has recently donated 20 laptops to support our mission of closing the digital divide!
Each of these devices will undergo a rigorous process—they will be professionally cleaned, securely wiped, and refurbished to a high standard. Once ready, they will be redistributed to schools, community groups, and families across Wandsworth who need them most.
Why Your Tech Donations Matter
While this donation is a huge win, the need for digital inclusion remains urgent. In our local community, thousands of residents are still “offline,” cut off from job opportunities, healthcare, and vital social connections.
A single laptop can be the catalyst for change. Whether it’s a student at home or an adult attending one of our digital literacy courses in the UK, the right hardware is the first step toward independence.
Driving Social Value: A Win for Your Business
For organizations looking to bolster their ESG strategy or CSR strategy, donating tech is one of the most effective ways to hit your sustainability goals.
By choosing to recycle computers through a computer recycling charity like ours, your business can:
- Reduce E-Waste: Contribute to a circular economy by recycling electrical items rather than sending them to landfills.
- Boost Social Impact: Enhance your community programmes and social value reporting by providing tangible tools to those in need.
- Support Local Education: Help us provide the hardware needed for our basic IT skills courses and free digital skills training.
Get Involved: From Volunteering to Donating
If you have unused technology gathering dust in an office cupboard, we can give it a second life. We make it easy for businesses to meet their environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility targets while making a direct community impact.
Not a business? We still need you! We are always looking for people interested in volunteering in Wandsworth. Our volunteers help run our digital skills courses and support our drop-in sessions at local hubs like Battersea Library, Southfields Library, and other Wandsworth Library locations.
