Opening times: Monday-Friday 09:30am-12:30pm

We operate out of a well equipped unit with all the facilities you would expect. We have a break area and plenty of parking. We have 48 regular volunteers and always welcome anyone who can provide a few hours per week to refurbish tools. You do not have to be skilled as we will provide training.
We also need volunteers willing to collect donated tools and others willing to spread the word about what we do and the items we accept.
Most of our tools and other items go to Tools with a Mission and also to Farm4Life in Portsmouth, who are mainly into West Africa. We're a busy workshop and during 2017, we sent 83 complete kits (totalling around 4000 individual tools) for various trades, especially carpentry, plumbing and motor mechanic, 57 sewing machines, over 50 bicycles, 25 computer systems, 89 miscellaneous power tools, several thousand drill bits, plus over 2500 miscellaneous loose hand tools and garden tools.
It would be great to talk to you about volunteering with us. You can be sure of a very friendly welcome.
