I approached Little Lives UK as I work at a small primary school in Greater London with very limited information technology resources. Little Lives UK incredibly kindly gifted us 15 iPads. I cannot thank them enough for their generosity. This will enable us to teach our children to become digitally literate and will support our pupils with SEN needs in communicating and accessing learning in different ways.

About our Technology Programme

All about the programme >>

Donating your unwanted electronics makes a difference to children and their families in need of support. Little Lives UK works with local authorities, schools, youth clubs and other charities to identify children in need of electronic devices like computers and laptops.

Any items which are not suitable to be donated to children are sold in order to raise funds for our charity campaigns. A donation of electronics is not only directly beneficial to the children supported by Little Lives UK through our technology programme but it’s also beneficial to the environment.

Donating technology gives it a new life so that it doesn’t go to landfill, think of it as computer recycling.
