Donate a PC

Man using a computer 

Help technology novices in your community to get online by donating your old PC. If you have a working PC or laptop sitting in your house gathering dust and taking up space, why not donate it to Age UK?

Donate your PC

Working with a registered refurbisher we can rebuild your old PC and give it a second lease of life to do good in your community and for people in later life.  

What happens to my old PC? 

We know that your old PC may have personal, private information on it, so we guarantee to wipe it clean and securely remove all details to internationally approved standards. 

We also clean, test and then install Microsoft software to get the PC ready for a new home and all for a worthy cause.  The proceeds of your donation will directly support Age UK’s vital work to help train older technology novices to use computers to experience the benefits offered by today’s modern technology.

Why should I donate my PC?

5.7m people in later life have never used the internet. With your computer donation, you are helping to support local outreach programmes to ensure that older people in your community can benefit from today's digital technology.

What do I donate?

All we need is the working PC, desktop body, or laptop, along with the accessories that make up the computer. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept any screens, monitors or other equipment.

Where do I donate my PC?

You can take your old PC to any of our 470 Age UK shops around the country. You can find your nearest shop by using the search box on the right.
