London Mayor Ken Livingstone and not-for-profit computer recycling company Maxitech
are asking businesses to donate PCs for refurbishment before they are giving to 
Age Concern London.
The Mayor of London is writing to London businesses to encourage
them to donate computers they no longer need to Maxitech, which will then wipe and
refurbish the computers and distribute them to Age Concern centres in the capital.

The charity will then ensure that the computers are given to housebound older people
in their communities, with some computers kept at Age Concern drop-in centres for
older people to use there.

 

 

Age Concern London Chief Executive Samantha Mauger said: ‘These computers will give
the older people who receive then the opportunity to communicate with friends and
relatives, develop new interests, as well as enabling them to have access to health
and advice.”
