## About Us
**Tech Care Co-op** exists to support good people to do great things.
We want to help you with compassionate and caring tech support.
No more feeling alone, no more getting stuck. We’ll be there for you.
We will strive to use simple language wherever possible and empower you to help yourself.
We will always advocate for technical solutions that protect your privacy and human rights.
We have a strong preference for using [open source commons software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software) and encryption wherever possible.
We are a UK based [worker owned co-operative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_cooperative). We all get paid the same and we make decisions democratically. No CEOs, no bosses, no capitalist investors. We pay our taxes.
