Turn donated PCs into refurbished e-learning machines, learning to repair, wipe and prepare computers while gaining experience in data handling, installation and stock management. Training is provided, no IT background is required, and travel expenses are supported.

This volunteering role with the Turing Trust involves helping to restore donated PCs into refurbished e-learning machines. Volunteers are taught the procedures used to repair, wipe and prepare computers, alongside data management, PC installation, stock management and other related tasks.

It is a practical role for anyone who wants hands-on experience in IT refurbishment and support work.

The opportunity is based around the Turing Trust’s work in reusing IT equipment to further education in sub-Saharan African countries. Training is provided, and the role is suitable for people who want to build confidence and gain experience in computer repair, maintenance and data handling.

A background in IT would be useful, but it is not required.

The commitment is around one day per fortnight, with flexibility that includes home-based volunteering and school holidays. Travel expenses are supported, and tea, coffee and biscuits are provided. Interested volunteers are asked to complete the enquiry form to register their interest.
