Tools with a Mission

Tools with a Mission is 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.​They send around 20 containers filled with over 300 tonnes of tools every year. You can use their website to donate tools, find a collector or you can gift money towards a sewing machine or carpentry set for example.

They are looking for volunteers in Newcastle and the North East. Tasks may include

• taking calls and emails from members of the public and arranging collection times; driving to collect tools from people and bringing them back to your storage area
• arranging collections

They provide an induction to the role which may be either over the phone, electronically or in person and a volunteer handbook on starting. You will have a named contact within TWAM for any questions or problems and further training can be provided as required. You will also be given a Polo Shirt to wear and an ID Card if required
