Donate a laptop
Rochdale Town Centre Businesses Improvement District wants to help our next generation of local entrepreneurs. That's why we've decided to support local and national campaigns to re-purpose otherwise redundant laptops and tablets that sit unused in cupboards, drawers and under beds across Rochdale so that they can be used to overcome persistent barriers to online learning which is necessary to keep us all safe for the time being.
We are happy to collect and we'll ensure any donated equipment is passed on to those school children who need it most. We'll ensure any equipment is wiped back to factory settings as we know data security is of paramount concern.
Message or email us at paul@rochdalebid.co.uk should you wish to donate any equipment or if you have any queries.
