Detailed description

Join our community of Tool Collectors. This is an incredibly rewarding role as you know many of the tools you collect will go directly to Africa to transform lives. How amazing is that?

As a Tool Collector, you will play a vital role in collecting tools from the public, either by personally picking them up or arranging for them to be dropped off at your home. You can choose to offer both or either of these options.

We'll provide you with a TWAM email and put your name, area, and email on our website, so people can easily find you. You'll also receive a TWAM polo shirt and fleece and our support every step of the way.

By becoming a Tool Collector, you'll not only help us save hundreds of tonnes of tools from landfills but also play a crucial role in creating livelihoods and fighting poverty in Africa.

Without our Tool Collectors, our work wouldn't be possible. Join us today and be part of the transformational impact we're making across Africa.

About Tools with a Mission

We are a Christian charity that collects unwanted usable tools, refurbishes them, sorts them into trade tool kits and sends them to the developing world for livelihood creation. In doing so, we also support UK communities through volunteering opportunities and contribute significantly to environmental sustainability by reducing waste and carbon emissions in the UK.

Through our 'local to global' model, we prevent nearly 400 tonnes of tools from crowding UK landfills annually and engage local communities, offering volunteering opportunities that nurture skills and foster social connections. The impact of our work resonates globally, as we supply refurbished tools to over 500 organisations in Sub-Saharan Africa. These tools equip individuals with the skills needed to completely transform their lives and communities.



By refurbishing and recycling, we save over 1,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, demonstrating our commitment to environmental sustainability. Our toolkits serve as catalysts for change, from supporting families and education to strengthening communities. Our local efforts have a global impact, helping to create a world where everyone has the chance to thrive.
