What we do
Ipswich is the head office for TWAM. Tools collected and refurbished by all TWAM and independent centres work their way to Ipswich, along with all tools collected by our fleet of vans. In Ipswich they are packed into trade tool kits ready for sending overseas. Ipswich also receives tool donation direct from the public.
Ipswich undertakes refurbishment of a wide range of tools including electrician's, builder's, carpenter's and garage workshop kits as well as sewing and knitting machines, and computers.
International operations are co-ordinated from Ipswich, along with a team of volunteer Country Coordinators working across the UK to support applicants in supported countries. Containers are packed and sent from Ipswich via UK ports to Africa.
Volunteer with us
We are always looking for volunteers to join us at the refurbishment centre to help with a wide variety of tasks. Please visit our dedicated volunteer website for details:
