We recently made a donation of old / unused IT equipment to The Turing Trust including 9 boxes of wired keyboards, mice, monitor cables and desk top machines.
Because of our donation, 432 students will now be able to learn vital IT skills. Beyond this, the environmental impact from our donation will offset 7 tonnes of CO2 emissions which is the equivalent of planting 17 trees. The embodied energy savings created are also enough to power 2 UK homes for a year as well.
Founded in memory of Alan Turing, the charity supports businesses with disposing of unwanted IT equipment in an ethical and sustainable way at zero cost, and then helps to support the education of children in Malawi and the UK by recycling and refurbishing IT devices.
Alan Turing (1912-1954) was a brilliant mathematician, World War II code-breaker, founder of computer science, philosopher and theoretical biologist.
His pre-war work laid down the theoretical plan for a programmable computer, and after the war he was closely involved in the design and programming of the world’s earliest computing machines. In 2009, Alan’s family set up The Turing Trust to honour his remarkable legacy.
