IT equipment reuse scheme

As part of Strategy 2030, UWE Bristol has committed to circular economy principles. Part of this is ensuring working equipment that is no longer needed by the institution is effectively reused and diverted from waste or recycling.

We would like to build a network of local charities and social enterprises who can make use of this equipment and can work with us to maximise its potential.

Equipment

Available equipment will vary but is likely to include; 

• PCs
• laptops
• projectors
• AV equipment

We will ensure equipment has been wiped of any data and will make clear to you the condition of the equipment.

Eligibility

We are keen to support and work with local and community partners.

The organisation receiving equipment must be a community organisation that can clearly demonstrate its charitable aims in a governing document. These can be CICs, charities, CIOs, constituted groups etc. At the very least, we would expect to see a governing document with charitable aims, and three unrelated committee members on the management committee.

We can also support public bodies such as schools or local authorities. The activity must be clearly non-profit making and not for commercial purposes.

The project must either benefit communities in Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. Or, if further afield, the organisation must be directly linked to a project or piece of work being delivered by a current UWE Bristol student or member of staff.

Enquiry form

If you meet the eligibility criteria, please contact us via the enquiry form, where you can specify what equipment you need.
