Volunteering Opportunities with TWAM ( tools with a mission)
About
TWAM is headquartered in Ipswich, with additional Refurbishment Centres in Rugby and Halstead, five van teams, and over 500 volunteers across England and Wales. We have five local groups across the country formed by volunteers, and we are supported by seven independent workshops, including Men’s Sheds. We send to six partner countries in Sub-Saharan Africa: Zambia, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Malawi, and DR Congo. Our primary beneficiaries are vulnerable individuals such as single mothers, school dropouts, street orphans, homeless people, people with physical disabilities, and ex-sex workers. By working with registered charities, we ensure that the tools are used as intended, providing individuals living in extreme poverty with the resources they need to develop manual skills and sustainable careers and feed their families every day. Our work is crucial in offering a way out of poverty for those who cannot afford to buy their own tools and have limited access to education or career opportunities. Through our partnerships, training and support are provided to individuals who may otherwise be trapped in exploitative labour, often facing physical harm or abuse, or led into lives of crime and sex work.
