My 2nd Chance - Fighting for a better world

My 2nd Chance is a community-led, not-for-profit organisation committed to strengthening communities through practical support, connection, and care. Established in October 1995, we exist to provide people with opportunities, encouragement, and the resources they need to move forward with confidence.

We deliver Holiday Clubs throughout most school holidays, giving children a safe, fun, and educational environment where they can learn, play, and thrive. Every Wednesday, our CommUNITY Connection Day creates a welcoming space where people can come together to connect, share experiences, and support one another.

We also run an online programme called Navigating Trauma, a four-week course followed by a full-day in-person. This programme provides guidance, understanding, and emotional support for those navigating life’s challenges.

Supporting food security is a core part of our mission. Through food banks and affordable community meals, we help ensure individuals and families have access to nutritious food. We also host community-focused events that bring people together to raise awareness, build relationships, and support important causes.

Beyond the UK, we are committed to supporting vulnerable children in orphanages in Ghana by providing essential supplies and serving food parcels to the most vulnerable in the community.

Following a review of our work programme, we expanded our remit to do even more for the community. In 2018, we became a registered company trading under the name My 2nd Chance, allowing us to extend our reach and impact.

We are proud to be based at:

TNG Youth & Community Centre
111 Wells Park Road
London SE26 6AD

Together, we believe in giving people a second chance, and the support they need to make it count.
