This regular event is a great opportunity for you to clear out the garden shed / garage / house of those unwanted items and let us put them to good use for others in developing countries.
They will be serviced / repaired as required and then made up into trade kits before being sent out to various countries to help local people learn a trade and a skill to earn money to feed their families etc.
Below are the items we can (and cannot!) collect for use:
