Give Your Unwanted Tools A New Life In Africa

South Birmingham Tools for Africa restore equipment and work with Tools For Self Reliance to put them in the hands of tradesmen and women in East African countries so that they can provide for their families.

The group are looking for donations of tools and time and would love you, or your community group, to get involved.

The group meets in Kings Heath on Tuesday mornings to restore tools. If you can’t make it then see contact details below or restore them at home, or with your own community group, using the tool refurbishing guides.

What to donate

The group meet in Kings Heath Park House on Tuesday mornings.

For more information either pop along to one of their meetings or call Martin on 0121 777 4464
