A WELCOME FROM THE FOUNDER
Every year, millions of pieces of technology are replaced long before they have reached the end of their useful life. At the same time, thousands of people, schools, charities and community organisations continue to struggle to access the technology they need to learn, work and stay connected. To us, those aren't two separate problems.
Refurbit was created on a simple belief: technology should be reused.
Every laptop, desktop and mobile device still has value, and by extending its life we can reduce electronic waste, prevent unnecessary carbon emissions and opportunities for people who create might otherwise be left behind.
What began as a small technology refurbishment operation has grown into a registered charity with a much wider purpose. Today we work with businesses, schools, charities, public/government departments and community groups nationwide collecting unwanted technology, securely erasing data, refurbishing equipment for reuse and responsibly recycling anything that cannot be given a second life.
The income generated through this work allows us to reinvest directly into our charitable objectives, supporting digital inclusion projects, community technology initiatives and environmental programmes that benefit people across our communities. Every device donated helps create new opportunities for someone else.
During the past year we have continued to grow our operations, strengthen our infrastructure and expand our impact. We have processed over 21,000 devices, prevented an estimated 1,181 tonnes of carbon emissions and completed more than 550 secure technology collections.
We have continued to build partnerships with organisations that share our vision for a more sustainable future. During the year, Refurbit became a signatory to the UK Government's IT Reuse for Good Charter, reinforcing our commitment to a reuse-first approach that supports digital inclusion and the circular economy.
The demand for affordable technology continues to grow, electronic waste remains one of
of the world's fastest-growing waste streams and there is still much more that can be done.
Our ambition is simple: to build a future where technology is reused wherever possible, where organisations see environmental responsibility as an opportunity rather than a burden, and where every unwanted device has the potential to create lasting community benefit.
This report reflects far Every piece of more than a year's worth of technology activity. It represents the has the collective effort of our staff, volunteers, trustees, potential
supporters, funders and to change
business partners who someone's share our belief that future. technology should never be wasted.

Technology
Shouldn't
Become
Waste
----- End of picture text -----
Technology has transformed almost every aspect of modern life. Yet every year, millions of perfectly usable electronic devices are replaced long before they have reached the end of their useful life. For many organisations, replacing technology is simply part of keeping pace with changing business needs. Laptops, desktop computers, monitors and mobile devices are upgraded, often while they still have years of reliable service remaining. Too often, these devices are placed into storage, disposed of or recycled without their remaining value ever being realised. At the same time, electronic waste has become one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world.
Manufacturing new technology requires significant quantities of raw materials, energy and water, creating a substantial environmental footprint long before a device is ever switched on. Extending the life of existing equipment is one of the simplest and most effective ways of reducing that impact.
However, the challenge is not only environmental. Across the UK, many individuals, continue to face barriers to accessing suitable technology. Whether supporting children with education, helping people search for employment, enabling access to public services or reducing social isolation, reliable digital access has become an essential part of everyday life.
These two challenges are closely connected.
A Better Approach
At Refurbit, we believe technology should be reused before it is recycled. Every suitable device represents an opportunity to reduce waste, prevent unnecessary carbon emissions and provide affordable technology to people and organisations who need it most. Refurbit ensures that the maximum
possible value is recovered from every donation.
This approach supports businesses in meeting their environmental and social objectives while helping communities gain access to affordable technology and reducing the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new devices.
Technology should never be viewed as waste simply because it has reached the end of its first owner’s life cycle. When managed responsibly, every device has the potential to create value many times over.

More than one hundred tonnes of unwanted technology collected from businesses, diverted from disposal and assessed for reuse or responsible recycling. Every collection represents valuable equipment diverted from disposal and assessed for reuse wherever possible.
Technology reuse prevented an estimated 1,181 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions by extending equipment life, reducing demand for new manufacturing, conserving natural resources, and lowering carbon emissions every year through refurbishment initiatives.
By extending the life of technology through refurbishment and reuse Refurbit and partners have prevented the equivalent electricity use of approximately 773.5 UK homes per year.
Together, these results show the power of technology reuse - reducing waste, lowering emissions and creating a more sustainable future.

WHY THIS MATTERS
A sustainable financial model enables us to:
-
Deliver more community projects.
-
Invest in new services.
-
Expand digital inclusion projects.
-
Maintain high environmental standards. Maximise the impact of every grant received.

ABOUT REFURBIT
CREATING OPPORTUNITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
Refurbit is a registered charity based in Hull, East Yorkshire. It was established in response to two connected challenges: the growing amount of usable technology being discarded and the number of people and community organisations unable to afford the equipment they need.
What began as a practical, local response has developed into a growing charitable operation supporting organisations and communities across the UK. During this time, Refurbit has expanded its facilities, workforce and technical capability while remaining firmly rooted in Hull.
Unlike traditional recycling organisations, our involvement does not end when equipment is collected. We look beyond its immediate recycling value and consider how it can create the greatest possible environmental and social benefit. This approach enables technology to support people and communities while generating income that is reinvested into our charitable work.
Our development has been shaped by experience. Working directly with businesses, public bodies, charities, schools and community organisations has helped us understand both the scale of technology waste and the barriers that prevent useful equipment from reaching those who could benefit from it.
As we continue to grow, our focus is not simply on processing more equipment. It is on strengthening the infrastructure, partnerships and services needed to make technology reuse accessible, secure and sustainable on a much greater scale.
OUR MISSION
To protect the environment and improve digital inclusion by extending the life of technology through secure collection, professional refurbishment, responsible recycling and community reinvestment.
OUR VISION
A future where technology is reused before it is recycled, where digital access is not limited by financial circumstances and where unwanted technology is recognised as a valuable resource capable of creating lasting environmental and community benefit.
HOW WE CREATE IMPACT
Collect
Secure nationwide IT collections.
Refurbish
Professionally test, repair and prepare devices for reuse.
Redistribute
Affordable technology for people, charities and communities.
Reinvest
Income funds future environmental and community projects.
Every device has value beyond its first owner. Our role is to unlock that value for people, communities and the environment.

OUR HISTORY - TWO JOURNEYS, ONE VISION
----- Start of picture text -----
1999–2008 – THE ORIGINAL REFURBIT
Hull City Council established Refurbit as a
pioneering community-based technology reuse
project, bringing together computer
refurbishment, environmental sustainability,
training and affordable access to technology. ownership grew.
Donated computers from businesses and
organisations were refurbished rather than
discarded, with equipment supplied at low cost to
schools, charities and community organisations. computers.
At the same time, Refurbit provided practical
training and employment opportunities for
young people and the long-term unemployed.
The model gained regional and national
recognition, becoming the first stage of plans for a
network of community-based refurbishment
schemes across Yorkshire and the Humber.

1999 – WHERE IT BEGAN
Meanwhile, Roland Carlisle's journey began with a passion for repairing things. After working as a motor mechanic, he attended evening classes to learn computer repair as home computer ownership grew.
Trading initially as Ace Computers, he advertised locally with a "No Fix, No Fee" promise, offering repairs, upgrades and affordable home computers.
Soon he was refurbishing and selling internet-ready systems from £99 making home computing more accessible at a time when new systems could cost over £1,000

2000 – AU COMPUTERS
Alongside Ace Computers, Universal Computing was operating in Hull providing computer systems and components. The two businesses came together to form AU Computers, beginning the next chapter of the story.
Based on Anlaby Road in Hull, AU Computers provided new and refurbished computers, repairs, upgrades and IT support to homes and businesses across the region.
Over the following decade, the business grew to four staff, developing extensive expertise in refurbishment, repair and customer service while building long-term relationships with local organisations.

2008 – A BIGGER HOME
2008 – REFURBIT BECOMES INDEPENDENT
After more than a decade of growth, AU Computers had outgrown its original premises and moved into a larger shop across Anlaby Road.
After almost a decade within Hull City Council, Refurbit became an independent organisation, continuing its work in technology reuse and recycling.
The move provided more retail and workshop space, allowing the business to increase its refurbishment capacity, hold more stock and support a growing customer base.
Although the original organisation would later cease trading, the Refurbit name and the idea behind it would eventually find a new home.
By this point, what had begun with local computer repairs had grown into an established technology business built around repair, refurbishment and making technology affordable.
OUR HISTORY - TWO JOURNEYS, ONE VISION
2019 – THE STORIES COME TOGETHER
2024 – BECOMING A CHARITY
2026-TODAY
Refurbit's growing community and environmental work led to the next major step in its development, becoming a registered charity.
Following the closure of the original Refurbit, AU Computers acquired the Refurbit name and gave it a new beginning.
Today, Refurbit brings together two stories that began more than 25 years ago.
From local computer repair and pioneering community technology reuse to a modern registered charity, Refurbit now works with businesses, schools, charities and public sector organisations across the UK.
This formalised a purpose that had increasingly shaped the organisation: extending the life of technology, reducing electronic waste and its commitment to supporting people and communities.
It brought together two histories stretching back to 1999: AU Computers' experience in repair, refurbishment and affordable technology, and Refurbit's original focus on reuse, sustainability and community benefit.
Each year, thousands of devices are collected, securely processed and given a second life reducing electronic waste while creating lasting environmental and community benefit.
The result was a new Refurbit, built on the foundations of both.
Every surplus generated is now reinvested in delivering that charitable mission.
2023 – A NEW HOME
As Refurbit continued to grow, the organisation outgrew its original premises and relocated to 22 Park Street, Hull.
The larger site provided the space needed to expand refurbishment, secure data destruction, retail, offices and community activity.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act); and accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with accounting requirements of the Act; or
examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act, as amended).
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, as amended), and

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
6. TRUSTEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTIES
During the period, one trustee received remuneration of £21,311 in respect of their employed operational role within the charity. This remuneration related to services provided in that role and not to their duties as a trustee.
7 RISK ASSESSMENT
The Trustees actively review the major financial, operational and organisational risks facing the Charity on a regular basis and take appropriate steps to manage and mitigate those risks.
The Trustees monitor the Charity's financial position and commitments to ensure that it remains able to continue delivering its charitable activities. As the Charity continues to develop, the Trustees recognise the importance of strengthening its financial resilience and building an appropriate level of unrestricted reserves.
The Trustees have also considered the wider operational and business risks facing the Charity and are satisfied that appropriate systems and controls are in place to manage significant risks.
8. RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees recognise the importance of maintaining an appropriate level of unrestricted reserves. As the Charity is still developing, surpluses generated to date have largely been reinvested into its operations, infrastructure and charitable activities. The Trustees intend to build an appropriate level of unrestricted reserves as the Charity's financial position develops.
The appropriate level of reserves will be based on the Charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the Charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.
