About Us

Learn more about our organisation, who we are, and what we stand for.

TechMate (initially known as Addington.net) opened in November 2001. Our stated purpose is to provide affordable access to information and communication technologies.

TechMate is a community organisation based in Christchurch. We grow digital inclusion in our community with the help of our dedicated volunteers and board members. We are funded through the generosity of a number of local community organisations and sponsors. Over the past twenty years, TechMate has enabled many people to use and enter the digital world.
