What the charity does

CTA reduces the digital divide, and e-waste, by providing technology, connectivity and skills to those in need. We refurbish donated computers, tablets & mobile phones, and distribute them through referrals from over 150 community organisations in south London such as schools, refuges, food banks, disability and refugee groups. We're developing a sustainable, scalable model for use across the UK
