How can you help?

At IT4CH, our aim is to provide computer equipment, Internet links and teaching resources to hospitals and schools for children who are sick.

There are several ways you can support the work of IT4CH:

Donating:

Do you work within IT?

If so you and your company could help. Read our 'Letter to Chief Information Officers'

Money to buy new equipment

If you or your business would like to donate funds to allow us to purchase new equipment, contact us.

Donate equipment

If your business would like to donate computer equipment, such as laptops, PCs or printers please email us at pat.ryan@it4ch.com . Please note due to the cost of labour and fuel, collections of redundant IT can only be made if there is a minimum of 25.

If you are not sure whether your equipment is suitable, please read our frequently asked questions section of this site, which provides guidance.

Volunteers:

We always need volunteers to help with IT or raise sponsorship for more equipment.

If you are looking to volunteer, this is a complex procedure because anyone going into the hospitals would need to have CRB clearance, i.e. there are certain rules, which must be followed.

Partnerships:
