Every year, people and organisations benefit from thousands of refurbished tools from Tools With A Mission, giving them the means to learn a trade, start a business, and build a better future.

These tools are carefully packed into TWAM toolkits, each one containing the elements needed for a trainee to flourish. For instance, a sewing machine kit might contain a bag of haberdashery essentials to complement the machine. A carpentry kit​ contains oilstones and mallets as well as chisels, hammers, and saws. And a mechanics workshop kit needs trolley jacks and bench vices, not just a toolbox.

Each container of kits costs between £6,000 and £10,000 - and that number is only rising. But without your gifts, our toolkits are grounded - and all the hard work in preparing them is wasted.

These toolkits are the heart of our mission. Behind each one are hours of hard work from our team and volunteers – sorting, refurbishing, and packing over 18,000 tools a year. The impact? Life-changing!

To achieve our goal of sending 25 containers this year, we are aiming to raise an extra £15,000 to help keep these toolkits moving. Together, we can get them into the hands of those who need them most.
