About 2econd Chance

We believe everyone deserves a fair shot at work. We’re a North London-based charity supporting people who face barriers to employment — including adults with autism or other neurodivergent conditions, refugees, and young people with additional needs — by giving them the skills, experience and confidence to succeed. We offer workplace experience and IT training programmes which give our trainees hands-on experience in refurbishing IT hardware and workplace readiness. Our inclusive and accredited Tech 10 programme takes place in a working IT workshop, where trainees learn how to repair and recondition donated laptops and devices. We offer: • Real work experience in a supported setting • Accredited and informal tech training • IT recycling with free device collection and secure data wiping • Opportunities for businesses to support inclusive hiring and digital access. Our circular economy model helps reduce e-waste and bridges the digital divide as a percentage of our refurbished tech is then donated to individuals, schools, and community groups who need it most. The more devices we receive, the more people we can support.
If your business or organisation has unwanted laptops, desktops, tablets or smartphones (up to 6 years old), please get in touch — and help give someone a second chance at work. Registered Charity No. (1210740)
