Amnesty for tools! We collect old and unwanted hand and power tools for the charity “Tools for Self-Reliance”. They refurbish them and donate them to help young men and women in the Third World learn a trade to earn their living and support their families….. Drop your old tools in to us on a Wednesday morning and have a coffee in the “Open doors” lounge whilst you’re there!
