Tools with a Mission
The main role of a Tool Collector is to be our first contact in their local community. Our Tool Collectors are the people that members of the public contact to donate tools.
The primary role of a Tool Collector is to be our first contact in their local community. Our Tool Collectors are the people that members of the public contact to donate tools. Members of the public will contact you via email or phone. We will give you a TWAM email that goes on our website and will only give out your phone number to people who ring our office (because they may not use email). You can then arrange to pick the tools up from them or drop them off at your house, whichever you prefer. You will then need to store them until the TWAM van comes to you to collect them. This can either be Scheduled or when you ring your named Van Manager to ask for a collection. Many collectors also promote themselves in local magazines and notice boards. For more information, please visit our dedicated volunteering website https://twamuk.goassemble.com/opportunities. You can also ring our Volunteering Coordinator Paul on 01473 210220 or email Pauld@twam.uk

Tool Collectors need to be enthusiastic about what we do and the transforming power of tools. Many people donating tools do so following bereavement, so we need sensitive people willing to stop and talk rather than rush off. In other words, they are kind and friendly people! If you are driving to collect, you will need a valid UK Driving Licence, but this is not needed if you become a drop-off point. We will also need to check that you have adequate motor insurance and your car has an MOT. However, this is optional for a drop-off point. You will also need somewhere to store tools awaiting collection from the TWAM van.
You’ll join a great team and enjoy the visits from the TWAM Van Teams and the invitations to volunteer days. You will also receive a TWAM polo shirt and fleece. This is an incredibly rewarding role as you meet the general public and share our story with them. Many are so grateful that we are taking their tools rather than seeing them go to landfill. You’ll get a real buzz from many of the collections.
This is a very flexible rule which can be done at times to suit
