<p>Mear Technology like to support charities close to our employees&#8217; or customers&#8217; hearts when we can. These charities cover both our employees&#8217; and customers&#8217; struggles. We have given <strong>£100.00</strong> to each of these charities. </p>

<p>Endometriosis impacts on the physical and mental health of 1 in 10 women and those assigned female at birth in the UK. That’s over 1.5 million who desperately need support and information to help them understand this chronic condition.</p>



<p>Endometriosis UK is a leading charity for all those affected by endometriosis, determined to ensure that everyone gets a prompt diagnosis and the best treatment and support.</p>



<p>They work to break down barriers to access &#8211; whether information, treatment or support &#8211; wherever endometriosis impacts on lives. They are a powerful voice for those with endometriosis, driving up care standards across the UK.</p>

<p>Tommy’s is the leading charity carrying out research into pregnancy loss and premature birth in the UK.</p>



<p>Thanks to their supporters, they have been able to carry out more than £2m worth of ground-breaking research every year in 4 centres across the UK, into the causes of miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth, and to improve maternity outcomes for women and birthing people.</p>



<p>Their world-leading research is finding the causes of and treatments for pregnancy complications, and help to save more babies&#8217; lives. But pregnancy loss and prematurity still cause heartbreak for millions of families every year. We exist to change that.</p>



<p>Through their network of expert researchers, doctors and midwives working across our research centres, we&#8217;re making breakthroughs all the time. Together, with the strength of our community, they&#8217;re saving babies&#8217; lives.</p>

<p>Kevin and his team are aiming to raise funds for Motor Neurone Disease Associations and bring together the MND Community with his latest challenge. They are setting themselves a challenge to run seven ultramarathons in seven days across seven cities or regions. This will include an Extra Mile event where members of the MND community will join Kev for one mile each day from 1st to 7th December 2025. Each day will be broken down into 7km blocks that Sinfield must complete within the hour, before setting off on the next leg at the hour.</p>



<p>Six MND charities will once again benefit from the challenge. The MND Association are the main beneficiary, along with donations to Leeds Hospitals Charity’s support for the Rob Burrow Centre, Irish MND Association, Darby Rimmer Foundation, My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and MND Scotland.</p>

<p>This initiative wouldn&#8217;t have been possible without the incredible support and collaboration of<a href="https://www.reusingit.org/"> Resusing-IT</a> (Registered Scottish Charity Number SC037716), a local organization dedicated to giving electronics a second life and reducing waste. Their expertise in refurbishing and preparing these devices was invaluable, ensuring each laptop is ready to inspire and educate.</p>



<p>In today&#8217;s digital world, access to technology is more crucial than ever for a child&#8217;s learning and development. These laptops will open up a world of opportunities for the students at <a href="https://eastcalderprimary.westlothian.org.uk/">St Paul&#8217;s Primary School</a>, enhancing their classroom experiences, supporting their creative projects, and helping them develop essential digital literacy skills.</p>

<p>We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone involved, especially <a href="https://www.reusingit.org/">Resuing IT</a>, for making this dream a reality. This project is a testament to what we can achieve when we work together to support our local community and invest in the future of our children.</p>



<p>ReusingIT helps so many around the world, and Mear Technology has been donating hardware and supporting Reusing IT since 2013. A fantastic local charity with which Mear Technology is deeply proud to be associated.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-does-mear-technology-do-with-reusing-it">What does Mear Technology do with Reusing IT?</h2>



<p>Mear Technology has been working with Reusing IT to help reduce our clients&#8217; environmental impact. We collect and store all electronic waste from our clients, then donate it all to Reusing IT, who repurpose what it can and recycles the rest. We love that our clients&#8217; waste is being put to such a worthwhile cause. It is humbling to not only support a local charity but to ensure that our electrical waste is put to good use.</p>



<p>Beyond our digital waste, we have worked alongside Reusing IT to help our charity clients reduce their IT costs through refurbished hardware supplied by Reusing IT. </p>

<p>We are proud to have supported <strong><a href="http://www.positivehelpedinburgh.co.uk">Positive Help Edinburgh</a></strong>, a vital charity dedicated to providing free, practical support to people affected by HIV and Hepatitis C in Edinburgh and the Lothians. Established in 1989, Positivive Help&#8217;s services have evolved to meet the changing needs of the community. offering life-changing assistance that includes helping service users access essential treatment and appointments, providing companionship, and supporting children with their education and wellbeing. We are particularly inspired by the dedication shown when their Director, CEO, and five other incredible people recently completed an 11-mile kilt walk to raise funds and awareness for their essential work, an effort that perfectly reflects the charity&#8217;s commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of those they serve.</p>

<p>Estelle Keeber – a powerhouse female entrepreneur, Instagram expert, author, motivational speaker extraordinaire, and proud owner of <a href="http://www.immortalmonkey.co.uk">Imortal monkey</a>. She wanted to utilise her skills as a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lovephotography13weddings/">wedding photographer</a> as well as her “advocacy for body positivity” to help raise money to fund specialist equipment, which the 15-month-old Nazario requires to manage day-to-day life. <strong>#BareForNazario</strong> sees 12 women strip off and pose nude in a variety of locations across Leicester to form a calendar.</p>

My role in this event was to be one of three Dragons in a Dragons&#8217; Den type charity event. A total of 40 charities applied to take part and a final 10 were invited to put forward a pitch on why their charity deserved the top prize of £2,000. The Round Table also put together a runners up prize of £1000.</p>
<p>The 10 finalists each presented their cases and left the Dragons with a difficult task to select a winner. All 10 finalists walked away with £250.00 for their efforts so no-one left empty handed.</p>
