Charitable donation forms an important part of Tier 1’s re-use
channels, particularly where clients have a desire to enhance
their corporate social responsibility activity. By donating
redundant equipment, Tier 1’s charity partner Digital Links
International ensure that it is used in the developing world,
usually in educational projects. Impact reports back to the
client show where their equipment is being used, who is benefiting
and how it is making a difference.
Digital Links International
Digital Links International was founded with the vision of helping
all of the people in the developing world have access to information
technology to improve their lives and is now the leading computer
charity in the UK.
In order to fulfil this vision, Digital Links redeploys redundant
PCs from private and public corporations in the UK and provides
them at low cost to schools, charities, community organisations
and small enterprises in developing countries. New technology
has a high impact in developing countries, opening up new educational
and economic opportunities. By utilising recycled computers
we give thousands of young people affordable access to IT.
Digital Links also trains teachers in IT skills and hardware
maintenance and is always looking for creative solutions to
problems that inhibit IT access in the developing world such
as solar and wireless technologies that can make connectivity
possible in rural areas.

As well as its mission to end cruelty to children and create
a society in which all children are loved, valued and able to
fulfill their potential, the NSPCC seek to achieve cultural,
social and political change, influencing legislation, policy
and practice, attitudes and behaviours and delivering services
for the benefit of children and young people.
The 1989 Children Act gives the NSPCC statutory powers to protect
children at risk – the only UK charity with this status. Since
its formation, the NSPCC has helped over 10m children.
