Join our Bucket Brigade and help us with our community bucket collections.

Bucket collections are not only a great way to raise much needed funds for us, but also a great way to connect with our local community.

This is a perfect opportunity if you would like to support us on an ad-hoc or one-off basis. It’s flexible and can easily fit into busy lifestyles.

If you’ve a couple of hours to spare it can really make a huge difference. Money raised through our collections directly supports our caring services.  

Our fundraising diary includes regular collections across the region, anywhere from Dawley Centre to Shrewsbury’s Asda.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re interested in collecting in your local area.

We are a Christian charity that collects unwanted usable tools, refurbishes them, sorts them into trade tool kits and sends them to the developing world for livelihood creation.

Community Champion volunteers: 

The main role of a Community Champion is to help raise support in their community for TWAM. This will mean organizing events (or finding people to organise them) such as coffee mornings, quiz nights, open gardens and all sorts of creative ways to fundraise.

It means keeping an eye on what is going on in the community and perhaps finding people to enter sponsored events such as fun runs, 10Ks, walks for TWAM.

It will include working with our other volunteers to arrange events such as TWAM evenings with coffee and cake or a buffet.

Community Fundraisers need to be people with big ideas and the energetic enthusiasm to see them through.

What will you be doing?

You will work within your local community, Church, or community group to promote TWAM and help raise the funds we need to keep the tools flowing.

You will organise events of all kinds or find others to do them for you, from music nights to traditional coffee mornings.

You’ll get pull-up banners, leaflets, resources and loads of support from everyone at TWAM from the Volunteering Coordinator and the Fundraising and Communications Officer to your local TWAM Tool Ambassadors and Community Ambassadors.

What are we looking for?

Passionate, energetic people who can organise things and get things done, and people who can identify others and mobilise them to organise events.

We really need people who can work as a team and really get stuck into the very exciting role.

What difference will you make?

We always need people to collect tools and refurbish them, but without the funds to run our vans and keep our Refurbishment Centres operating, nothing would happen. Shipping to Africa costs a lot of money and again, we need the funds to do it.

This is why the Community Champion is so important, and this is the difference you will make, because nothing happens without the people willing to ask for the funds to run the charity.

Church Ambassadors are our face and contact with the local Church. We are a Christian mission relying entirely on the goodness, leading, and provision of God, and we need His Church to stand with us.

Our Church Ambassadors encourage their Church to pray by distributing the Prayer Diary or arranging prayer events. They also arrange Coffee Mornings to raise funds and promote the work. They ask for TWAM to be mentioned in notices or chosen for special collections. Overall, the Church Ambassadors keep TWAM close to the heart of the congregation.

What are we looking for?

You will be committed to serving your local Church and wanting to share the work and heart of TWAM for prayer and support.

You will be involved in your local Church and, therefore, somebody who will be listened to when leaders and members choose the charities the Church will support.

What will you be doing?

Church Ambassadors play a vital role in the local church on behalf of TWAM. They inform the church of our mission and plans, such as opening new centres and introducing new supported countries.

They encourage prayer and distribute TWAM News and our Prayer Diary. They ask the church to consider TWAM for Harvest and other special offerings and invite Community Ambassadors to speak at the church.

Church Ambassadors can organise local tool collections and work with our Tool Ambassadors and Community Ambassadors to bring the local church into the heart of all we do.

What difference will you make?

TWAM needs the support of the local Church and the uplifting, life changing prayers of its people. By encouraging prayer and support, you will be integral to the growth of TWAM and its reliance on God.

Volunteer benefits

You’ll be central to the ‘Kingdom Building’ ministry of TWAM in the UK and overseas. You will see people in your own Church engaging with TWAM and praying and supporting us. Lives will be changed in Jesus’ name because of your support.
