VHR Powers Education and Sustainability with Major IT Donation
At VHR, we believe in giving back to the community and creating opportunities that make a real difference. Our latest initiative reflects this commitment: donating essential IT equipment to help students gain the digital skills they need for the future.
We are proud to have donated:
- 21 laptops
- 26 Mini PCs
- 13 larger PCs
- 2 x 24-port switches
This contribution will have a transformative impact on education and the environment. As the charity receiving the equipment shared:
“Thanks to your donation 1,098 students will be able to learn vital IT skills. Beyond this the environmental impact from your donation will offset 17 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, which is the equivalent of planting 43 trees, or offsetting the annual carbon footprints of 2 Britons. The embodied energy savings created are also enough to power 4 UK homes for an entire year!”
These figures highlight the dual benefits of this initiative: empowering young people with technology while reducing environmental impact. By repurposing IT equipment, we are not only supporting education but also contributing to sustainability goals.
Partnering with The Turing Trust
This donation was made possible through our partnership with The Turing Trust, a charity dedicated to providing IT resources and training to schools in Africa and beyond. Their mission is to ensure that every child has access to technology-enabled learning, helping to bridge the digital divide globally. By refurbishing donated computers and installing educational software, The Turing Trust empowers students with the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world.

Why It Matters
Access to technology is essential for students to develop critical IT skills, opening doors to future careers and innovation. For many, these resources are out of reach. By donating this equipment, VHR is helping bridge the digital divide and ensure that every student has the tools to succeed.
At the same time, the environmental benefits are significant. Offsetting 17 tonnes of CO₂ emissions and saving enough energy to power four homes for a year demonstrates how giving back can also protect our planet.
Our Commitment to Community and Sustainability
This donation is part of VHR’s ongoing mission to support communities worldwide. Whether through education, employment, or sustainability initiatives, we strive to make a positive impact wherever we can.
