At Reconome, we believe that everyone, no matter their background or circumstances, deserves the chance to live a healthy life, pursue education, build a meaningful career, and follow their passions.

Technology and digital skills are essential to those opportunities. Yet in the UK, 1.6 million adults have no smartphone, tablet or laptop, and 8.5 million lack basic digital skills, cut off from the tools that enable connection, learning and growth.

Reconome was founded in 2018 to change this, by repurposing technology to break down barriers and create opportunities for people and communities to thrive.

We make it possible for anyone to access technology, and we do it in a way that genuinely serves people, communities and the planet.

As the exclusive technology partner of Good Things Foundation, we power the National Device Bank: more than 100 contributing organisations, almost 40,000 people supported, and a shared commitment of 85,000 devices by June 2029.

E-waste is piling up.
Billions are still offline.

01

Circular economy.

We champion the circular economy by extending the life of electronic devices. Through professional refurbishment and responsible recycling, we minimise waste and maximise value.

02

Digital inclusion.

We believe technology access is a right, not a privilege. We make sure surplus technology reaches the people who need it most.

03

Evolution and growth.

Our approach evolves with the technology, so what we deliver for our clients and for communities keeps getting better. Our own Portal is part of that: every collection, every stage, in one place.

Proof, not promises.

Every device we process is CO₂ not emitted, e-waste not created, and a life potentially changed.
