Edinburgh Remakery

Edinburgh Remakery is a Leith charity and social enterprise, founded in 2012, that refurbishes donated laptops and devices and gifts a fifth of them to people facing digital exclusion.

What they do

“We securely wipe and refurbish donated IT, give one in five devices to people locked out of the digital world, and sell the rest to pay for it.”

In its own words, on edinburghremakery.org.uk

In plain speak

They take donated computers and other IT equipment, clean them securely, and give some to people who cannot afford them, while selling the rest to pay for this work.
