Technology Programme
Supporting children’s education and social development through donated technology
Ending technology poverty through the donation of computers, tablets, and other electronics
Despite significant advancements in technology, thousands of children across the UK still lack access to it. We understand how crucial it is for children to use technology not only to support their education but also to communicate with friends and develop essential skills that can enhance their future career prospects.
To help bridge this gap, we run our Technology Programme. Through this initiative, we donate up to 25 electronic items per request to schools and children’s organisations in need. These donations aim to provide children and young people with the technology necessary for learning and personal development.
How does our Technology Programme work?
We collect technology device donations with our free electronics collection service.
Our team and volunteers refurbish as many devices as they can.
Schools and organisations apply for a technology donation.
Devices are donated via schools and other children’s organisations.
youth clubs and councils

Do you have unused technology or electronic devices? Donate them to us today!
Our Technology Programme wouldn’t be possible without the generous donations of unwanted devices from people and companies like you. You can donate your unwanted electronic devices, such as computers, tablets, and mobile phones, in any condition.
Use our free electronics collection service in London and Bournemouth, or drop them off at one of our charity shops in London. Alternatively, you can use our prepaid postage label to easily send us your phone or tablet.
One of the schools we’re proud to support
Our tablet donation to Meadow Croft Primary School, Chertsey
We have donated 15 iPads to Meadow Croft Primary School to support the children in their studies and help them develop digital literacy. These devices will also assist their SEN pupils by improving communication and providing alternative ways to access learning.
How our tech donations support schools and other children’s organisations
Our tech donation to Skyway London
Little Lives UK has donated 15 laptops to be used in their afterschool homework clubs for children who otherwise wouldn’t be able to complete their online learning due to not having their own technology at home. As part of our Technology Programme, Little Lives UK strive to end technology poverty and ensure that all children who are without the relevant technology for virtual learning and the seemingly ever increasingly virtual world, do have access to the equipment needed.
Donation to Salusbury World Refugee Centre
Little Lives UK has been given the opportunity to support the fantastic cause that is the Salusbury World Refugee Centre in North London. Little Lives UK are pleased to announce the donation of 15 laptops through our Technology Programme for use in Salusbury World Refugee’s afterschool homework club at the Granville Family Well-Being Centre.
Our donation of 14 iPads to the Community Change Company CIC
The Community Change Company CIC is an organisation based in Newark that helps those in the community who are in need of vital support that so often is not funded or available for everyone. They are piloting a group run by sibling of children with additional needs. The siblings know their brothers and sisters better than anyone and can really help to guide service providers in the right direction when it comes to understanding what is best for them and their family.
What our benefactors say
Creative Minds
We are incredibly grateful to Little Lives UK for their generous donation of two iPads to our Community Interest Company. These devices have made a significant impact on our ability to inspire creativity and foster collaboration within our team and with the communities we serve.
The iPads have become invaluable tools, allowing us to enhance our programs and engage more effectively with our participants.
Thank you, Little Lives UK, for your support and for helping us make a positive difference!”
Warwickshire Flexible Learning Team
We are incredibly grateful for the devices that Little Lives UK kindly gave us. We have been able to provide students laptops to access their online learning. Our students are all too poorly to access mainstream schools and so having access to a laptop is a real link back to their peers and education.
Some of these students had been trying to access our service via mobile phones which was only putting them at further disadvantage. These laptops will enable these students to achieve academically and socially and that is something that we are hugely thankful for.”
