Why Pass IT on?

Across homes throughout the UK, old technology is sitting unused in cupboards and drawers. While it may no longer be needed by its owner, suitable equipment can still have a useful life ahead of it.

Pass IT On gives businesses a simple way to help unlock that technology.

By hosting an internal tech amnesty, your organisation can encourage employees to bring unwanted devices from home into the workplace. Every Child Online can then collect the donated technology and help give suitable devices a new purpose.

How It Works

  1. Launch your campaign– We work with your organisation to help you prepare for your Pass IT On tech amnesty.

  2. Get your team involved – Employees are encouraged to bring their unwanted personal technology from home into a designated collection point at work.

  3. Collect your donations – Devices are gathered together during the campaign, making it simple for employees to take part.

  4. Pass IT on to us – Once your collection is complete, the donated technology is passed to Every Child Online for processing.

  5. Give technology another life – Suitable devices can be refurbished and reused, helping technology stay in useful service for longer while supporting our digital inclusion work.

How It Supports Our Mission

Pass IT On turns individual donations into collective impact.

One employee may have a laptop they no longer use. Another may have an old phone sitting in a drawer. On their own they are small donations, but when an entire workplace gets involved, they can add up to something much bigger.

By bringing businesses, employees and Every Child Online together, Pass IT On helps keep technology in use for longer while supporting our mission to make digital access fairer and more sustainable.
