We have a huge ask...
We're keen to communicate with potential sponsors who'll pay a pledge solely and specifically towards our primary ongoing cost - secure storage.
As we've steadily grown from one man's hobby, into a highly demanded almost-a-charity with over 650 rehomed devices under our belt over the last two years, we've expanded way past the point where our combined sheds and dining rooms already were barely ample for the space we've come to need. The recent large donation of equipment alone, that we've mentioned previously, itself stands to be a concern for the foreseeable future as we work our way through those refurbishments.
The sting in the tail of the popularity of our scheme is that this expansion will cost us almost the entirety of our existing monthly sponsorships, and we're starting to have to scrimp on some of the other bits and pieces we need to buy to repair the more broken of those donated gadgets.
And of course, as a result of this too, the repair pile is becoming an increasing proportion of those storage needs. We can't afford to fix stuff, because we're spending the money instead on storing the stuff that needs fixing... :/
As mentioned, this is a huge ask. Our storage cost will sit in the region of £150 a month from next month onwards, and we know that's not a small sum.
If you can help, and boast your support for our project while also helping us towards our income threshold to properly register as a charity, please drop us a line
