Donate your Old Tools

Tony Styles is the local Milford on Sea collector for the TWAM charity, and they would like any old tools or sewing equipment that you might have to spare.

Do you have any unwanted tools or a sewing machines that could be very useful to less fortunate people?

TWAM stands for 'Tools with a Mission' and it is a Christian charity enabling people to earn a living and support themselves and their families.

In many countries people have few skills, little education and no means of earning a living. A switch from aid dependency to self-sufficiency is impossible without help.

TWAM started over thirty years ago, and has since provided this help by collecting and refurbishing tools and equipment no longer required in the UK and sending them overseas. Through collectors and refurbishment centres across the UK, the team of dedicated volunteers and supporters help transform thousands of lives every year.

The TWAM website contains a list of tools wanted, please click here.

Raffle for Michael Turner Sculpture

We recently we published an article about Simon Heaps who represents Great Britain at wheelchair table tennis Class 5 and his journey back to International tournaments. (Please click here to read previous article.) 

Having already lost his left leg as a result of Type 1 Diabetes in May 2019, in January 2020 Simon lost his right leg. In spite of these setbacks, he is determined to return to competitive wheelchair tennis for Great Britain. 

In his quest to raise funds to help pay for his Great Britain kit, he was generously donated a special piece of sculpture by well known local sculptor Michael Turner and this is now being raffled. (Click here to see Michael's extraordinary art pieces.) 

The piece donated is 'The Acorn' mounted on oak and it would normally sell for £250. 

(Dimensions: Acorn length: c.14cm - Wooden plinth:10cm x 10cm.)

How the raffle works:

1. Visit his Facebook post (click here) and say 'YES' in the comments.

2. Then, go to Simon's secure Go Fund Me Page (by clicking here) and donate £10.  

The lucky winner will be drawn around the 6th April by Michael Turner and will have this special piece delivered by Simon.

Simon has also posted a video on his progress in adapting to walking on prosthetic legs. 

I think it is fair to say his determination and effort is impressive.

To view video, please click here then scroll down to the bottom of the post. You will find the video amongst the photos.
