DONATIONS WANTED - All your broken, faulty, aging or just plain unused tech/computers and gadget!!!!
Good Evening Everyone, I hope you're all well. I recently moved down here to the big smoke, from up in the Dales, and I've got to say you Riponians are a right friendly bunch!
So because you're all so welcoming and because in my business I get asked a lot, I've decided to use you lot as guinea pigs for a little charitable side endeavour.
So what is it? Well I have an IT business and so I end up with piles of tech, broken, faulty, some perfectly work order. In the past I had a WhatsApp group of people who i've spoken to that are looking for some equipment.. laptop, pc, phone, ipod, earpods, bluetooth speakers etc etc, you get the idea..... but for one reason or another they don't want to spend on anything new, or in some cases good refurbished stuff. As I came across these bits n bobs i'd get them running, cobble together a working device or if really needed recycle it. Then I'd posted it and first come, first served give it away, no string, cost or benefit. Tech reused, good deed done, happy humans.
Since there is a lot bigger audience in the city, I want to try something a little grander. I'm going ask (in various groups) if any people or businesses have old, broken, faulty or surplus tech they don't want, need and would be happy to be passed on for free for someone else local to make use of., rather than it going dusty or to be recycled.
The donations/gifts are only wanted from people connected to Ripon and will only be offered out in this group for people connected to Ripon.
I've had someone ask already about other areas, and depending on how this is received, I may expand it............
All the best..... Nick.
