Level Up Reigate & Banstead is a project that provides refurbished laptops for children and young people who need them for home study.

The laptops are donated by the community and refurbished by volunteers.  They are distributed to children and young people via local schools and charities.

Level Up Reigate & Banstead is a partnership project that is being delivered by Raven Housing Trust with support from VARB and Level Up Horley (now included within Level Up Reigate & Banstead).  Fidelity UK are providing volunteer support.

This project is supported by Pfizer Limited.  Their grant funding is being put towards the cost of new hard drives and other additional parts needed for refurbishment

Last but not least, there are many individual volunteers and laptop donators who are making this project possible.

Thank you!

Do you have an unwanted laptop gathering dust?

We need over 500 second hand laptops or tablets in working order.

Your laptop must be running Windows 7, 8 or 10 and have at least one USB port.  Please note we are no longer accepting phones or laptops with Windows XP or Vista.

All laptops will be securely wiped or have hard discs removed and destroyed.  They are then refurbished before distribution.

To donate a device, please complete the online form and we will contact you to arrange collection.  Alternatively there are two drop off points:

Raven House (outside container), 29 Linkfield Lane, Redhill RH1 1SS (Mon – Fri 9am-5pm).  

Horley Library, 55-57 Russell Square, Victoria Rd, Horley RH6 7QH (Tues – Sat 10am-4pm)

Want to help, but don't have a laptop?

We are now launching an Amazon wish list of parts needed for laptop refurbishment.  If you don’t have a laptop to donate, this is another way you can still support the project.

Items on the list range in price from £7 to £50.  (Our most needed items are Solid State Discs (SSDs) priced at £20.)

If you prefer not to use Amazon, you could purchase the same items from other suppliers and arrange for a collection via the laptop donation form.
