Fundraising Activities
- Collection of items, here is the details of what we can take, which also doubles as a handy Recycling poster!
- For recycling we can generate fund from your stamps, phones and electrical items.
- For remaking we can generate funds from old ribbon material, hard cardboard (not corrugated, but like the back of notebooks) and nautical charts.
- Provide a collection facility.
- Or donate specific requirements like working equipment to the classes. We currently need an A3 (or bigger) guillotine, workbenches, an oven. We are also looking for a low cost solution for storage and for operational equipment.
