Yorkshire businesses urged to donate old laptops to help refugees get back on their feet
Wakefield-based Propel Tech owns large office spaces at its West Yorkshire base and is able to act as a drop-off and storage point for the laptops before they are regenerated and distributed to refugees and other individuals urgently needing the lifeline a laptop can provide.
Access to the internet and digital platforms are critical in enabling people to secure work, manage finances and keep in touch with friends and families. The Re-Tech initiative will help to address the widening digital divide, but allow firms to recycle their old technology.
