Volunteer Roles

As a Tool Collector, you will play a vital role collecting tools from the general public, either by personally picking them up or providing a tool drop-off point.

​

As a friendly face in the community, you'll represent TWAM and spread the word about our work. People will contact you to arrange tool collections or deliveries. You will be the first step in a tool's long journey to skills training centres in Africa. This is a home-based role.

​

You can either be tool collector or a tool collection point, which is better for groups or those who cannot travel.

Van Team

Join one of our TWAM Van Teams and become a vital part of our mission to send refurbished tools to African skills centres for livelihood creation.

 

TWAM Vans collect tools that are donated to us, either from volunteer collectors or members of the public, and bring them back to our Refurbishment Centres. There are driving roles, van management roles, and van administrator roles.

​

We have vans based in Ipswich, Rugby, Redcar, Maidstone, and Aldershot. Head to our volunteering website and put in your postcode to see if there is a van role available.

Local Groups

Local Representatives are teams of people who share our passion for livelihood-creating tools and work together to collect them from their local community, and even help in other ways if possible, such as sorting or lightly refurbishing the tools.

​

You can help to arrange tool collections at local supermarkets, DIY stores, and garden centres, and even offer talks to local community groups or speak on local radio.

​

Starting a local group is easy - all you need is somewhere to store the tools, such as a vacant garage or big shed, and the enthusiasm to gather together like-minded friends.

Tool Refurbisher

Refurbishment Champions help us to get all the donated tools ready in our Refurbishment Centres.

 

They play a key role in identifying the tools that can be used to change lives, giving them some basic TLC to bring them back to life, and putting together life-transforming kits that support long-term livelihood-creating projects across Africa.

​

We have Refurbishment Champion roles available in Ipswich, and Rugby.

Community Fundraisers organise events and come up with creative ways to fundraise in their local community.

 

Coffee mornings, quiz nights, open gardens - the sky's the limit when it comes to generating support for TWAM! Community Fundraisers also keep an eye out for sponsored events and encourage people to get involved, whether it's a fun run or a walk for TWAM. 

​

They make our work possible by raising much-needed funds to keep the charity running.

There are other admin roles, including within the Operations team preparing documentation for our containers, assisting country coordinators, or putting together van schedules.

This role is available in Ipswich and Rugby.
