Welcome to Joining Hands

Donating computers to Joining Hands Kent

In January CSV and BBC Radio Kent are teaming up with Ashford-based charity Joining Hands Kent, to collect and refurbish unwanted computer equipment.

Joining Hands is a not for profit Social enterprise dedicated to creating sustainable projects for the benefit of disadvantaged communities in Kent. We encourage creativity and ingenuity in all of our projects and are always keen to explore new ideas that support communities.

Joining Hands unites all sectors of society and encourages community participation and integration, improving individual and community confidence by teaching vocational skills in informal settings and introduce beneficiaries to self employment, business and co-operative set ups.

We aim for our projects to bridge the divide between socio-economic groups, mental health and generation.

The Great Big Computer Drive:

Calling all computer owners. Joining Hands is teaming up with BBC Radio Kent and we need your help.

We are collecting unwanted computer equipment to be restored and donated or resold at a minimal cost to those who need it. The machines will be refurbished by young unemployed people, giving them essential skills and a sense of purpose.

We will be hosting special collection days across Kent all month, so there should be one near you.

We're looking for laptops, desktop computers, software, mice, keyboards, monitors, printers, dongles and mobile phones, even cables and chargers. Anything you can give, although preferably under five years old.

All hard drives will be safely and securely disposed of.
We'll be at the places listed opposite. Thank you for your donation - we look forward to meeting you!
