At Core to Cloud, we believe technology should be a force for good, not just in business, but in our wider communities too. That’s why we’re proud to be supporting The ITSA Digital Trust and their brilliant initiative, The Great Gloucestershire Mouse Hunt.
What is the Great Gloucestershire Mouse Hunt?
Running from Monday 26th January to Friday 30th January 2026, the Great Gloucestershire Mouse Hunt is a county-wide campaign to collect essential computer peripherals that can make a real difference to digital education across the world.
ITSA Digital Trust works to provide safe, secure, and suitable IT equipment to schools and community projects, particularly in Africa. While laptops and desktops are often donated, there’s a critical shortage of the everyday accessories that make them usable – things many of us have sitting unused in drawers.
That’s where this campaign comes in.
What’s needed?
ITSA is aiming to collect:
-
1,000 USB computer mice
-
1,000 keyboards
-
1,000 power cables and leads
These items may seem small, but without them, donated computers can’t be shipped or used and in some cases, charities are forced to buy new accessories to fill the gap.
Your spare mouse really can change someone’s access to education.
How you can help
We’re encouraging our employees, customers, suppliers, and local community to get involved by donating any of the above items during the campaign week.
Cirencester Growth Hub is a public drop-off point, making it easy for local businesses and individuals to take part.
There are also multiple public donation points across Gloucestershire, so you can contribute wherever is most convenient for you.
You can find full details and drop-off locations here: The Great Gloucestershire Mouse Hunt – ITSA Digital Trust
Small action. Big impact.
If you have unused computer peripherals at home or in the office, please consider donating them. Clearing out a cupboard might feel like a small gesture but for someone else, it could be the key to accessing education, skills, and opportunity.
Let’s see how much difference our community can make together.
Campaign dates: 26–30 January 2026
Drop-off: Cirencester Growth Hub or other Gloucestershire locations
