TechMate

TechMate needs help to keep the service running to help people access and use digital technology for study, employment and social inclusion.

Canterbury

We are all about empowering individuals with essential digital skills, striving to close the digital divide and ensure technology is accessible to everyone.

Over the past year, we've made a significant impact, assisting over 1200 people with free lessons, laptop donations, internet access, repairs, support for students, job seekers and refugees.

Picture not being able to navigate online tasks easily – that's the reality for many, but our team is here to help. Offering personalised sessions to meet people where they are.

Our collaboration with 80 organisations ensures our reach extends far and wide, bringing education, employment, and social connection to those in need.

Small amounts adds up, if everyone gave a little, then we would have enough to keep operating, and helping close the digital divide.

More about us

TechMate is growing digital inclusion in Christchurch by helping people to access and use devices for study, employment and essential online services. We give free one-to-one lessons, repurposed donated laptops, free or at-cost laptop repairs and we will come to your home if you are housebound.

I really appreciated the help from Remy with computer skills and learning about how to do zoom meetings. He was slow and took time showing me, which is what I needed. He will be someone I will come back to as he has solid knowledge and patience. Thank you Remy
