Get a computer

Westminster City Council's computers are upgraded every three to four years as they become too old to run major systems and too expensive to maintain. However, they are still able to use the Internet and run the latest office software.

You can apply if you are a charity or can show that your servicee or activity meets the needs of people living, working or studying in Westminster. You do not have to be based in Westminster but do need to meet needs of people in Westminster.

If you would like to apply for computers, please complete the online application form.
