Default Surplus tools

"The Medway Handyman" gurgled happily,
sounding much like they were saying:

I need to clear out the garage/workshop & I have a fair amount of
surplus tools, spanners, pliers, tool bags etc. Nothing worth ebaying
or freecycle ing, but I don't want to just bin it all.

ISTR there is a charity which collects stuff like this & ships it to
third world countries so it can be reused?

Anyone got a link? Google just throws up loads of tool shops.


http://www.workaid.org/

Not only do the donated tools go to worthwhile causes in the third world,
but their UK workshop is partly staffed by people with learning
difficulties.

Very, very worthwhile outfit.
