GivingBack.tech is a UK focused initiative that connects product donors from both the Commercial and Residential Audio Visual (AV) industries, and AV User organisations, with registered Charities and Community Interest Companies in order to repurpose second-hand, discontinued and graded AV equipment. It aims to help the AV industry limit landfill and make excess equipment available to good causes.
GivingBack.tech was instigated by Together For Cinema founder and Managing Director, Ian Morrish, when it became clear that unused AV equipment could be repurposed. Whether discontinued, second-hand or graded, these items may be stored in a warehouse, sat in an office, or even in homes, but if they're not used, they're eventually thrown away.
Companies can become a Donor directly with GivingBack.tech, click here to find out more.
Alternatively, as a Donor and Operational Partner, Alltrade already provides surplus equipment and with our network of branches across the UK are pleased to offer our customers a Drop-Off and Collection service for their donations.
Once a second hand, discontinued or graded AV item is received by Alltrade, we will list it on the GivingBack.tech website making the item available to children's or adult hospices, NHS Hospitals, respite care centres and a host of other deserving good causes that could benefit from repurposed AV equipment.
Registered Charities or Community Interest Companies apply to become a Beneficiary and once approved by GivingBack.tech they will be able to start searching through the range of products available.
We will receive all product requests from beneficiaries and liaise with them direct regarding delivery of their chosen product.
If you do not wish to become a Donor directly with GivingBack.tech but have a product you would like to donate please complete the below Equipment Donation Request Form.
Due to operational and delivery restrictions we need to review all donation requests and will contact you direct to advise if we can accept your donation. Once an item has been approved by us for donation you can drop it off at your local branch or we will pick it up - simple!
Please note: our branches and delivery drivers are unable to accept items that have not been pre-approved.
We respectfully ask that you only donate quality AV equipment in good working order as we are unable to test any item before it is sent out to the beneficiary.
Please declare and make a note of any cosmetic damage on the Equipment Donation Request Form.
If you have any queries please speak to your local branch or contact admin@givingback.tech
