CatBytes

Who we are

Catbytes is a Community Interest Company based in and primarily serving the borough of Lewisham. Catbytes’ mission is to address the needs of those whose ability to access the internet and other digital technologies is limited. We do this by providing digital education, recycled computer equipment and ongoing support.

Our two main activities are:

• Digital drop-ins - social environments where people can learn more about how to use devices and applications.
• Device Loaning - Being alienated from the world of technology isn't just a matter of lacking skills. It can also be a result of not having the resources to afford equipment. Catbytes collects donations of equipment from the public, fixes them, and distributes them to people in need.

We are also able to provide the following services:

• Support for organisations, such as providing them with computers, building websites, obtaining free software and other consultancy
• Recycling of electronic equipment donated by the public and corporations. We can provide industry standard data destruction, and environmentally responsible recycling.
