How the EnviroCharity Partnership Works
The EnviroCharity scheme is simple, yet incredibly powerful. It allows our customers to turn their unused mobile phones, tablets, and gadgets into direct funding for charities like Age UK Bristol. Instead of just getting cash for your device, you can donate some or all of its value straight to the cause.
When you decide to sell your unwanted mobile phone to us, you get a quote instantly. During the checkout process, you simply select Age UK Bristol from our list of partner charities and decide what percentage of your payment you want to donate. We handle the technical side - testing, refurbishment, and data wiping - and then we pass the full, full donation amount straight to the charity, with absolutely no fees deducted.
Supporting Digital Inclusion in Bristol
A lot of Age UK Bristol's work involves helping older people stay connected. Their services, such as Information & Advice and the Friends Ageing Better social activities, often rely on people having access to communication. The money raised through EnviroCharity will help fund these vital services, bridging the digital divide and ensuring that no one is left behind.
Not only does this scheme benefit the community, but it’s brilliant for the planet, too. You’re preventing e-waste and giving your old tech a crucial second life, often making it available as a high-quality, affordable refurbished device for someone else who needs it. It’s a win for your drawers, a win for the environment, and a huge win for Age UK Bristol and the older people they support.
If you have a drawer full of old gadgets, now is the perfect time to clear them out and make a meaningful difference right here in Bristol.
