Our mission is to send life-changing tools to enable recipients to build a sustainable career. However, some donated items are not needed by our beneficiaries, or might be surplus to our needs. We therefore seek to resell certain items - another way of saving them from landfill - whilst also raising vital funds for our work. We always recognise that our donations are done generously, and we try to honour that donation by using an unsuitable item to raise funds. If in doubt, call us on 01473 210220.

​

Our priority is to keep people safe. Large tools, such as benches and circular saws, can only be sent if they have safety shields and other safety features intact and unbroken. We will not send equipment which could endanger life.
