Software Donations from the Charity Technology Trust (CTT)

Through this programme, eligible UK-based charities are able to request donated technology products from Partners such as Microsoft, Symantec and Cisco.

The products include operating system software and server software, security software and hardware products such as switches, routers, wireless equipment and firewalls.

CTT and TechSoup are actively working to further expand the programme to include donations from other leading corporate technology donors.

Charities are required to pay a small Administrative Fee to cover the costs of the programme. Whilst the administrative fees vary, charities will still make savings of between 92-96% on typical retail prices.

Retail Research about handling personal data

Consumers rank high street stores and supermarkets as most trustworthy when it comes to handling their personal data, while voucher sites, mail order companies and online retailers are least trusted. These are some of the key findings of consumer research in the retail sector by marketing and data specialist The REaD Group.According to the 1,500 British adult consumers surveyed, the nation’s favourite retailers in terms of market penetration are the supermarket retailer Tesco and the online retailer Amazon with over 74% of UK adults making purchases with these retailers every year. The John Lewis Partnership offered the best customer buying experience, which was followed by Amazon and then Laura Ashley.
