Recycling SmartPhones for Vans
Computers for Charities "Be Part of the Journey"
CfC Donate Your Old SmartPhone - An Appeal with a difference
CfC remains dependent on roadworthy Vehicles to collect / distribute equipment & Skills across the UK and & Europe by road, into places of Need.
Its a fact. Vehicles need to be maintained and ours especially require regular repairs and replacing given age and annual repair bills!
Our Target: Replacement of current aged, 200,000 miles SWB Renault Trafic Van !
Since 1994 Computers for Charities has operated unfunded requiring a lot of juggling with limited finances. However over this time, charity has travelled and covered not just thousands but a million miles to provide support where it is needed!
One way to help is donating Smartphones to raise cash!...CfC has been a Pioneer of mobile phone recycling for over a decade, thanks to Mercedes Benz UK.
- Mercedes Benz UK and the former Dixons group offered a real solution of converting donated mobile phones into Vans and raising needed funds to keep the wheels turning.
The challenge continues, Sponsors and supporters are needed to aid this appeal. Simply by donating your old or broken mobile phone we can achieve this goal providing continuing support for Charities, disadvantaged Children, Orphanages, Schools and the Elderly.
Please help us to help them; Send them in, we need your unlocked Smartphones now!! Call Tel: 01323 84858 or email
Its what we do!
Phones for Vans is ongoing, but could do so much more, if we had sufficient vehicles to undertake the daily needs let alone the logistics required to get people and resources to where they are most needed
For many It's hard to imagine what real poverty is. However think of a young child lacking shoes, clothing even access to basic sanitation. Then daily having to beg for food in places where life is an exercise in survival and enduring a climate in winter with temperatures of -20C still with no shoes or heating and Summer 40C suffering the heat, dust and smell.
Sadly it's a picture we see to frequently and urgently need your help to change these situations.
