"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.

Which reminds me - there's a place here in Watford which employs
mentally and physically disabled people, they might appreciate some
tools - I'll see if I can contact them
