IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and IT asset lifecycle management provider Vyta partnered with Irish technology solutions provider Evad Technology Group to securely wipe, refurbish and donate seven laptops to the ISPCA following the charity’s appeal for technology support.
The ISPCA, Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, is Ireland’s largest national animal welfare charity. Together with its affiliated member societies, it rescues, treats and responsibly rehomes thousands of animals each year.
Lennie the Lurcher, pictured above, was one of those animals. He was found abandoned beside a busy road with a broken leg and, following treatment and rehabilitation, was later made available for adoption through the charity.
Joana Ramalho, Head of Individual Giving, ISPCA, said:
“The teams working directly with animals – rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming them often face heartbreaking situations. They manage complex cases, respond to emergencies and put in long hours, all while trying to keep up with the mountain of paperwork that comes with the job.
“Like many charities, we are under serious financial strain. Cashflow is tight while demand continues to grow. These laptops are more than just devices, they’re essential tools that will help our teams work more efficiently, file reports easily and dedicate more time to what truly matters: helping animals in crisis. We are incredibly grateful.”
Faye Thomas, Vyta CCO, said:
“We are delighted to have been able to help the ISPCA with the important work they do in supporting animals in need. We work with many organisations to keep suitable IT equipment in use for longer, helping reduce environmental impact while also making a tangible difference to charities across Ireland and further afield.
“We encourage businesses to consider donating retired IT equipment for secure refurbishment and repurposing when it no longer meets their requirements.”
Derek Boyle, Director – Strategy & Development, Evad Technology Group, added:
“The whole Evad team are very happy that through our partnership with Vyta to deliver sustainable solutions to our customers, we have had a part to play in providing laptops for refurbishment and donation to the ISPCA. These will empower their field workers to do even more amazing work to protect animals across Ireland. Seeing unused IT equipment be transformed into such valuable assets for a charity is extremely rewarding.”
The donation forms part of Vyta’s wider work to extend the useful life of IT equipment and support positive social outcomes. Learn more about donating IT equipment to charity and Vyta’s social impact.
