I'm surprised no one has mentioned Jamie's Computers yet,

http://www.jamies.org.uk/

lifted directly from their website:

"Jamie's Computers is the computer recycling social enterprise arm of The
Society of St James; Southampton's largest homeless charity, providing
housing, care and support to homeless and vulnerable people."

In the past the LUG has held meetings at their warehouse/offices and last
I heard they were very keen to recruit extra volunteers from the LUG.
