Local Group Volunteer

There are so many possibilities, but the main tasks usually undertaken are:

1. You will collect tool from requests made by the general public through the TWAM website.

2. You will promote TWAM locally to generate your own tool donation requests.

3. You will store the tools until and arrange collection by a TWAM van.

4. You will sort the tools so all broken and unsuitable tools are removed before the van collects.

5. You will do basic tool refurbishment as facilities and skills allow.

6. You will visit shows, farmers markets, local events etc. to promote TWAM and tool donations. If you have a knowledge of tools or setting up and organising groups, that would be great, but if not, we can support you all the way. Anywhere within England and Wales (but not Devon or Cornwall).

You decide when you meet, collect tools, and carry out refurbishment. 

Most groups meet 2-3 days a week between them.

7. You will offer talks and demonstrations to churches and other local groups to encourage 

their support.

8. You will work with your local Tool Ambassadors, Community Ambassadors and Community Champions to have a real impact on your community.

9. You will offer support to other potential groups who need advice on how to set up and run a group.

You may not do all of these things, but they are examples of what Local Groups do for TWAM

What is a TWAM Local Group? 

A Local Group is a team of people who share our passion for livelihood creating tools and get together to collect tools from their area. Many also arrange tool collections at local supermarkets, DIY stores and garden centres. 

What skills do I need?

If you have a knowledge of tools or setting up and organising groups, that would be great, but if not, we can support you all the way.
