Local Group Member (Chesterfield)

Join our amazing community of Local Groups and make a difference in your area! As a Local Group volunteer, you'll be part of a team of people who share our passion for creating livelihood tools and work together to collect them from your local community.

You can help to arrange tool collections at local supermarkets, DIY stores, and garden centres, and even offer talks to local community groups or speak on local radio. Some groups even sort the tools before arranging collection and do some refurbishment work, such as grinding off the rust and fixing loose handles.

Local groups make such a difference as they bring together like-minded people to collect tools, run tool collection events, and promote TWAM in their area.

They are great ways to encourage friendship and share a mutual enthusiasm for tools, recycling, and practical care. Many groups are church-based, but they don't have to be. They need some keen people to get them started and a place to store tools and hopefully do some basic sorting and refurbishment. Spare garages and garden sheds make a good start.
