trainees have participated in our projects over the past ten years, learning vocational skills they can use to find work and build sustainable livelihoods.
volunteers across the UK help us with collecting and refurbishing tools, fundraising and raising awareness about our work
tools were shipped this year to our projects across five areas of operation in Africa
Our work is only possible with the kind support of donors as we receive no statutory funding. If you can support our projects, trainees and tools refurbishment programme, we are very grateful. Donate to the Big Give Christmas Challenge and help us raise funds to support the cost of shipping our tools and sewing machines to trainees.
Find out more and donate between midday 3rd December and midday 10th December to have your donation doubled at no additional cost to you.
Please bring your tools, sewing machines, haberdashery items and ply wood to our Netley Marsh workshops. We are open for donations Mondays and Tuesdays only, between 10am – 4pm. You can find the list of tools we accept here.
If you are making a special trip, or travelling a long distance, please give us a call first on 02380 869697 to make sure we’re ready to help.
We also have a network of volunteer collectors across the country who can collect donations – please contact us to find out if there is a collector in your area.
