Old computers - anyone want?

Does anyone know if any charities want old but working computers? We have a Viglen (Windows 95) and a very old Acorn that we bought for daughter which has easy games on to help with numbers and spelling. I thought they might be of some use to third world countries but not sure how to go about getting them there. I'm afraid they're destined for the tip otherwise, but I'd like to recycle them preferably.
It's 5 o'clock somewhere!

On my Freecycle someone advertises wanting any old computers,
I think he may be retired or just not working because it seems to be his hobby fixing them.
Once he fixes them he advertises again on Freecycle to say 'does anyone want a working computer'Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
