Zitko Group Donates 20 Laptops to 2econd Chance: Supporting Tech Recycling and Inclusion

At Zitko Group, we connect top talent with the best opportunities in the Fire & Security and Technology sectors — but our commitment to people goes beyond recruitment. Last week, we donated 20 of our retired laptops to 2econd Chance, a UK-based computer recycling charity that provides life-changing work-based training for those furthest from the job market.

What Is 2econd Chance?

2econd Chance is more than a recycling charity. It’s a social enterprise that transforms donated computers into:

  • Hands-on training opportunities for people with physical disabilities

  • Support for individuals with learning difficulties

  • A fresh start for those dealing with mental health or emotional challenges

These refurbished laptops go on to support communities in need, ensuring both people and technology get a second chance.

Our Commitment to Social Responsibility

Donating our old devices to 2econd Chance aligns with Zitko Group’s dedication to:

  • Sustainability — reducing e-waste by giving used tech new life

  • Digital inclusion — helping to bridge the technology access gap

  • Corporate social responsibility (CSR) — using our resources to empower others

Why Donate Your Old Laptops?

Every unused or retired laptop can still serve a purpose. When refurbished, these devices become powerful tools for learning, growth, and opportunity. Instead of collecting dust or going to landfill, they can:

  • Empower someone to rejoin the workforce
  • Provide digital access for those who can't afford it
  • Support green, ethical recycling practices
