The lockdown has given many people the chance to have a good clear out. Sheds and garages often contain old, broken or disused tools which are no longer wanted.
Rushcliffe Rotary Club will collect your tools from West Bridgford, Ruddington, Keyworth and surrounding villages, and deliver them to the charity Tools for Self Reliance www.tfsr.org.
Their volunteers clean, mend and refurbish tools and pack them into complete start-up tool kits which are sent to Africa and, working with local organisations, are distributed to support embryo small businesses.
Training is provided to support the development of sustainable livelihoods and income diversification for people affected by poverty.
Start-up businesses supported by TFSR include – metalwork, carpentry, bicycle repairs, boat building, clothing and shoe repairs and many others.
Rushcliffe Rotary Club will be pleased to arrange collection strictly in accordance with current Covid 19 rules. This can be arranged by ringing 07837395598 or email jrc@jamescrane.net
Rushcliffe Rotary are happy to delay collection until restrictions end if preferred, just let them know.
Hand or foot-operated sewing machines are especially welcome but gardening and electrical tools are not suitable for this scheme.
