Suzuki GB PLC is very pleased to announce its collaboration with Computers 4 Charity, a long established and renowned not-for-profit organisation that reuses computer equipment for those in need both in the UK and around the world, who otherwise would have no opportunity to own a computer or laptop. Suzuki will donate 130 of its laptops to the charity during December.

The laptops were used previously across the Suzuki dealer network for training and diagnostic purposes. Computers 4 Charity erases all data and provide certification of this to ensure the fully serviceable devices can be used immediately and safely by recipients for years to come. The Suzuki laptops will remain protected for the future, too, as all have a hard carry case included.

Honorary chief executive of Computers 4 Charity, George Cook said, “We thank Suzuki for generously donating five pallets of laptops to those in need. The gift of laptops will help hospice patients receive safe remote health assessments from doctors and nurses, reducing the risk of infection. Unemployed veterans, who have a high rate of homelessness and suicide, will be able to job search and apply for employment online, improving their life chances. Volunteers will be able to support the charities they serve in a better way, young carers can keep up with their classmates and school children in parts of Africa receive a world standard education.”

Suzuki’s Mark Czarnecki, general manger for IT, added, “My affiliation with Computers 4 Charity spans 15 years. The service it provides is second to none, donating computer equipment to charity has never been easier, and the service is seamless and backed by a certified data wipe. The result is commendable, developing digital ecosystems for schools both local and around the world. In addition, the kit donated is tracked so you can follow the good news story.”
