Welcome to PCs for Kids
PCs for Kids will be closed 24-28 February and open at 1 Douro St on Monday 3rd March 2025.
PCs for Kids is a self-funded, registered charity, run entirely by volunteers.
We are located in the Geelong suburb of Newtown in a small industrial precinct behind the YMCA complex. Access is by the dirt road extension of Gregory Avenue.
Our 'shed' is at the end, opposite Goodway Printing (Building 3). Look for our signs.
The work that is done here helps many children and families by:
- providing computers free of charge to eligible children and youth under 18 (97 provided in 2024)
- donating surpus funds to primary schools to assist in providing extra activities and equipment ($31,000 donated in 2024)
- donating to Barwon Health Foundation for special projects benefiting children ($5,000 in 2024 for new children's emergency department)
Donations of computers and associated equipment are accepted from businesses, schools, and the general public.
We have a small shop where we sell second-hand computers. laptops, and various computer components and accessories at very reasonable prices.
Another service we offer is computer and laptop repairs at an affordable price.
Not all computers or equipment are suitable for refurbishment. What isn't suitable is deconstructed and recycled as e-waste - very little needs to go to landfill.
