About Sam's Spares 

Sam’s Spares is a registered not-for-profit and charity Co-Founded by Samuel Thomas, an Autistic man with Tourette Syndrome whose lived experience shapes everything we do.

We create meaningful employment for neurodivergent individuals through the refurbishment and responsible reuse of donated IT technology, reducing electronic waste while building real workplace skills, confidence, and long-term opportunity.


Our NEW G1G1 Model

G1G1 – Get One, Give One is Sam’s Spares’ NEW one-for-one matched giving model.

When someone purchases an eligible refurbished device from Sam’s Spares, we refurbish and donate a second device of the same quality and specifications to someone in genuine need, free of charge.


Every G1G1 device, both the one purchased and the one donated, is refurbished through paid, meaningful employment pathways for neurodivergent individuals, ensuring dignity, fairness, and sustainability are built into every transaction.

This model allows Sam’s Spares to move beyond short-term charity and operate as a values-led social enterprise, ethical, accountable, and built to last.



Why Sam's Spares Exists

Sam’s Spares was built to challenge outdated assumptions about neurodivergent capability. We believe neurodivergent people need opportunity, belonging, and workplaces designed to let them thrive.

By investing in people, not just programs, Sam’s Spares is reshaping what charity can look like: dignified, sustainable, and powered by purpose.
