Tools With A Mission
Tools With A Mission (TWAM) refurbishes used tools and sends them to many parts of the world where they can provide a livelihood for poor or stateless people. TWAM now regularly exports over a 100 tons of tools a year.
The work involved in sorting, repairing, refurbishing and storing tools is willingly undertaken by teams of volunteers and individual men in many parts of the country. Refurbished tools are despatched all over the world from TWAM's headquarters in Ipswich or from one of a growing number of regional depots.
Great care is taken to ensure that the requests received reflect a genuine need. In turn, TWAM tries to ensure that the tools reach their destination in good condition and in good time.
In these days of rising prices, a major part of TWAM's work is arranging finances to cover ongoing and rising shipping/carriage/transport costs.
