Computers For Kids

03/07/2025

Dear all,
We're working hard to get Computers for Kids back up and running — but we need your help to make it happen.
To continue our mission of providing tech to children in need, we urgently need:
✅ A secure storage space for donated devices
✅ Spare parts like chargers, screens, and keyboards
✅ Funding to support refurbishing all types of devices — not just laptops
We’ve set up a GoFundMe page to raise the funds needed — you can support us here:
👉 https://gofund.me/99463927
Any donation, no matter how small, truly helps and brings us one step closer to putting devices into the hands of children who need them.
💙 Please consider donating, sharing, or simply spreading the word.
Together, we can help more children access the technology they need for education and opportunity.
Thank you for supporting Computers for Kids!

Good afternoon everyone,

In order to get this not-for-profit up and running again, we really need to form a small committee of dedicated individuals. This is a great cause, and your support can make a real difference.

Please consider volunteering or encouraging others to get involved. Without volunteers, we simply won’t be able to move forward.

Thank you for your support!

Hi everyone,
My name is Jack Nye, and I’m proud to be the new owner of our Community Interest Company, focused on providing computers to children who need them for their education.
To be able to get this charity going again, we urgently need volunteers to help us rebuild and grow our impact. These roles will begin as voluntary, but our aim is to turn them into paid positions as soon as we raise enough funding.
We’re currently looking for:
• 1 x Digital Media Manager – to manage our social media and raise awareness.
• 1 x Fundraising Manager – to help us raise funds and source donated computers.
• Computer Technicians – to refurbish and prepare donated machines.
• Drivers/Delivery Volunteers – to help get the computers to the children who need them.
We’re also in need of a small, affordable office space to store donated computers and equipment—nothing big, just safe and cost-effective.
If you’d like to help, leave us a message on Messenger. Whether you can offer your time, skills, or know of a potential office space, we’d love to hear from you.
Thank you for your support—together we can get this charity back on its feet and make a real difference.
Warm regards,
Jack Nye
Owner/CEO

GREAT NEWS & A HEARTFELT FAREWELL
From Colin, Founder of Computers for Kids (Community for Kids)

Dear friends, supporters, and community,
As many of you know, we were on the verge of closing our Sussex-based service due to rising costs and financial strain. It’s been an incredibly difficult time — but today, I have some truly hopeful news to share.

I’m overjoyed to announce that Computers for Kids will continue. Jack Nye, owner of the J Nye Group, will be taking over ownership of our nonprofit by the end of this month. Jack shares my passion for giving back and believes deeply in the mission we’ve built together.

Founding this project has been one of the greatest honors of my life. We’ve helped thousands of children across Sussex — providing them with access, opportunity, and a real chance to thrive in a digital world. Watching this community come together to support something bigger than all of us has been nothing short of inspiring.

What many don’t know is that, over the past year, I’ve been facing personal challenges, including a period of homelessness. Despite that, I gave everything I had — financially and emotionally — to keep this service alive. I stopped taking a salary nearly two years ago and committed myself full-time to this cause, holding on with all I had.

But now, it’s time for me to step back and begin rebuilding my own life. It’s a difficult decision, but I’m comforted by knowing the future of Computers for Kids is in good hands.

This service has been my heart. Besides being a proud father, this is the thing I am most proud of — because it’s made a real, tangible difference in people’s lives.

Though I’ll no longer be at the helm, I’ll be working closely with Jack during this transition, introducing him to our partners and offering whatever support I can to ensure a smooth handover.

Please join me in welcoming Jack Nye with open arms. He’s stepping into a role that is as challenging as it is meaningful, and your continued support will be vital as he begins this new chapter.

Thank you for allowing me to serve this beautiful community. I have no doubt I’ll return in the future — with new energy, fresh ideas, and always, a commitment to making a difference.

With love and gratitude,

Colin

We are sorry to announce. Due to rising costs and theft from our office and no way forward to fund thia service. We are left with no choice but to be closing the service.

We are very sorry to announce our closure. Tomorrow this page will be archived.

The service will be back as soon as we are in a postion to fund the service.

Many thanks.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT.

Hi all we have to advise a change in location of our service. We will still try to cater to Sussex and areas that we have been for the past three years.

But due to the increase in costs and Aprils upcoming increases we have been forced to close our offices in Haywards Heath.

In order save the service we are moving our main activity to yorkshire as costs in that area are a lot lower and will give us an opportunity to save the service. We are saddened to be moving mostly out of the area but have been left with very little choice.

Thank you for your understanding.

Good morning,

With Christmas fast approaching Colin and Chrissy have been working through the nights the past few weeks prepping computers.

Some families who should have received a laptop two weeks ago will get them in the next few days also some are going to the council for families they have reffered to us and others will go via other local services.

We also have a lot of desktops ready and available for those that need. We do require a lot more monitors to go with these as we are running low on monitors for all the devices we have at the moment.

We wish everyone a very happy festive season.

The Computers For Kids team.

We would like to apologise to those waiting for devices.

And to those who have submitted a donation form.

One of our previous directors has stolen £5000 worth which is all our camera equipment and has also disabled all the online forms on our website.

If anyone besides Colin calls regarding donations please ignore and contact us on Facebook.

Any donations and requests can come to us here or by phone on 07717 123 707.

We hope to have new forms set up and secure in the next few days.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Kind regards

Colin Hill
