Access to technology can change a life.

Across the Tees Valley, furbd helps people get the digital access they need to move forward. We collect donated devices and IT equipment, refurbish them with care, and pass them on to individuals and community groups who would otherwise struggle to get online.

For someone without access, technology can mean applying for work, keeping in touch with family, accessing healthcare, learning new skills, or getting vital support. These everyday things become possible when the right device is placed in the right hands.

We work alongside local businesses, colleges, charities, housing providers and public services across the Tees Valley to make digital access fairer, more sustainable, and more inclusive.

Your support makes this work possible. Donations help us keep our small team running, refurbish more devices, and respond to growing demand from people and organisations who need support now.

A regular monthly donation helps us plan ahead and build long term stability, but one off donations can make an immediate difference. Every contribution helps turn unwanted technology into real opportunity.

Thank you for supporting furbd. Your generosity helps change lives across the Tees Valley 🧡
