Our Story
Computers for Charities "Be Part of the Journey"
CfC Supporting Charities & Community. Locally, Nationally & Worldwide Since 1994
Computers for Charities remains Original & Unique. (Reg Charity 1107802)
Operating since 1994 CfC had the vision to pioneer processes for Recycling & Reuse across the United Kingdom, aiming to provide benefit specifically for Charitable & Voluntary organisations & the Communities they support, growing from a local concern to national and worldwide. Unfunded & still totally through volunteer support.
Our ethos remains unchanged. In valuing people and aiding with the right tools to develop & grow organisations & people. Hence CfC is 100% a people relational organisation, let alone also fully environmental in its applications which has seen the tide turn on Landfill usage since 2007.
Computers indeed are an integral part of any organisation in these times. CfC is here to help and has aided literally thousands of organisations from Charities to Schools just through computer advice / support. Which is just a part of the charity's offerings & support.
CfC's workshop is based in Eastbourne, East Sussex. Locally offering space & facilities for local organisations. So if you Need somewhere to meet. Printing, Design, etc. Get in touch!
Volunteering: CfC provides sheltered Volunteering opportunities & work experience opportunities at all levels and flexible (Eastbourne area)
Donating: Corporate support through donations of redundant computers remains the charities lifeblood with collection services available across the UK for viable offers. Whilst offering donors full assurance and safeguards for liability & data.
Contact: Sadly, we are not able to provide financial support and only support organisations not individuals

How to help
The Beginning:
The vision for CfC began in 1992, ironically when undertaking aid support in war torn Bosnia. Moving from hobby to worldwide operation and achieved without massive financial support or people power. Made possible through massive goodwill from Volunteers & generous corporate support sharing the Vision
Faith Makes a difference!
Such things do not happen overnight: As with all seeds, a plant or tree needs time to germinate and grow. And certainly has been true for the Computers for Charities journey & myself over the past 30 years.
All of us, will and do experience varying battles and trials in life. Personally, it was throat cancer when aged 13 years old and a prognosis of terminal laid at my door. Surgery was performed for a fast-growing tumour, and assurance of no further options and only 5 years life expectancy thereon. I fell into a spiral of darkness followed, waiting for the inevitable end (death)
However, now past official retirement age. Life took a U turn for me when becoming a Christian in 1976, and still far from faultless, I have lived a life restored and changed!
Can anyone explain Faith? Believing in something you cannot see makes no sense. But that's the Christian journey, and certainly it's not an easy walk. James 1 tells you more. Christians foul up, get it wrong and certainly do not have all the answers, as we also are learning as well!
Personally, I can say from experience If you are finding yourself in a difficult place. What have you to lose! It's a simple process and willingness to surrender all, with a better future lying ahead. Secondly, it's a personal decision not just an action, to become a Christian. Faith does & will take you on an unexpected life journey of finding acceptance of yourself, and peace. But it does need 100% of You.
John3:16 "For God so loved the world " and he does. But sadly, the world is not a lover of God.
