Do you need a laptop to help you get online, learn new skills, or access essential services? Clarion Futures is offering free, high-quality laptops to eligible residents, helping you stay connected so you can build your digital confidence.
These devices have been repurposed from our own staff equipment, giving them a second life in the hands of those who need them most. Fully refurbished, quality-checked, and ready for everyday use, from browsing the internet to joining online classes, they’re a sustainable way to support our residents while reducing waste.

- Access essential services such as healthcare, benefits, and online banking.

How and why this is sustainable
By repurposing old staff laptops instead of disposing of them, we’re:
- Reducing waste and preventing electronic items from going to landfill
- Lowering our environmental footprint through reuse and recycling
- Maximising value from existing resources to benefit our communities
This circular approach means every laptop has a longer life and a bigger positive impact, for both residents and the planet.
