2econd Chance is a computer recycling charity committed to bridging the digital divide by offering refurbished devices through our network of community partners. We are committed to donating 1 in 4 of every device we refurbish back into the community meaning the more devices we receive the more people we can help. Last year we were incredibly proud to donate over 300 devices to support individuals to get online. 

 

There are several barriers that can affect digital inclusion such as: 

  

• Affordability – the means to connect to the internet. 

• Skills – having the skills and knowledge to use online services. 

• Confidence – being confident to use tech and navigate the internet independently. 

• Motivation – understanding why the internet is relevant and important in our day-to-day lives. 

​

Our Device Donation Scheme is open for referrals from community and voluntary sector groups. Referrals to the scheme can be made at any time and once approved you will receive regular updates. Please note there may be a delay due to a lack of suitable devices or number of applications. Your patience once we’ve received your application is much appreciated. 

 

Eligibility Criteria: - 

 

• Referrals must be made through an organisation. 

• Cap of two referrals per organisation a month. 

• On collection, individuals are requested to provide us with a quote about how they will use their device. 

• Referral organisations are required to support individuals completing evaluation forms so we can track our impact. 

• All devices must be collected from our office within 10 days of acknowledgement.
