Greetings!
  

While charities have long had access to heavily-discounted software through the Charity Technology Exchange (CTX), it has been a different story for hardware. Taking CTX as an example, it has until now only been able to offer a limited supply of discounted computers from Cisco. Huge credit therefore to Race Online 2012, with which the Charity Technology Trust is a partner, for securing a deal with Microsoft to make computers available from £95.
