At Second Turn, we believe that every game and toy has value, no matter its condition. A missing piece, a worn box, or a faded puzzle should never mean the end of its journey. Instead, we work to restore, rehome, and repurpose these items, ensuring they continue to bring joy, spark memories, and foster meaningful connections.
Through our commitment to sustainable play, we rescue well-loved board games, puzzles, soft toys, and game accessories, preventing them from becoming waste and instead placing them into the hands of those who need them most. Whether it's a child discovering the magic of their first board game, an adult finding nostalgia in a puzzle from their past, or a community group using play to bring people together—every donation has the power to create lasting moments and shared experiences.
Second Turn is more than a donation initiative. It is a commitment to reducing waste, preserving memories, and promoting accessible play.
We restore and redistribute games, toys, and puzzles to schools, families, and community groups—including both children and adults.
We prevent unnecessary waste by ensuring games and toys remain in circulation, rather than being discarded.
We carefully inspect, clean, and repair every item we receive, ensuring it is safe, functional, and ready for a new home.
Games offer more than fun—they create opportunities for learning, social connection, and shared joy. We proudly provide restored games and toys to:
Schools, where play supports education, teamwork, and problem-solving.
Families, offering affordable access to quality games that bring loved ones together.
Community groups, providing resources for engagement and interaction across all ages.
Second Turn thrives because of the generosity of people who believe in the power of play. You can support our mission by:
Donating board games, puzzles, soft toys, and accessories, even if they are incomplete or gently used.
Contributing financially through PayPal, helping us cover restoration costs, storage, and distribution.
Spreading the word, so more schools, families, and community groups can benefit from accessible play.
At Second Turn, we don’t just collect games—we restore experiences, revive memories, and create opportunities for new adventures. Every contribution, whether a game or financial support, makes a difference—one game at a time.
