Play is powerful—it brings people together, fosters creativity, and creates lasting memories. But too often, board games, jigsaw puzzles, and toys—including soft toys—are discarded due to minor wear, missing pieces, or simply falling out of use. At Second Turn, we believe that every game and toy deserves another chance, and with your support, we can restore, repair, and rehome these cherished items, ensuring they continue to bring joy, spark imagination, and encourage meaningful connections.
Think back to the first game or toy you loved—the thrill of a puzzle coming together, the excitement of rolling the dice, or the comfort of a soft toy that felt like a lifelong friend. These experiences shape childhoods, strengthen family bonds, and create moments of shared happiness. Your contribution helps bring those memories to life for others by:
Restoring and repairing games, puzzles, and toys, ensuring they can be enjoyed for years to come.
Sourcing replacement pieces to complete well-loved board games and puzzles.
Cleaning and refreshing soft toys, making them safe and ready for new homes.
Adapting games for accessibility, ensuring inclusive play for all individuals, including those in SEN schools.
Reducing waste, giving games and toys a second turn instead of letting them be discarded.
Every donation extends the life of these items, creating more opportunities for fun, learning, and togetherness.
