Tools for Self Reliance speak at Biggleswade RC

David Moore speaks about his voluntary work


The Biggleswade Rotary Club hosted a presentation by David Moore who spoke on the voluntary work he and others do in collecting "hand tools" from everywhere. These are taken to the Tools for Self Reliance Organisation which has a branch in Milton Keynes. From there they are sent to the TFSR/local Authority workshops for renovation and restoration back to possibly better than new. These tools are then sent to developing countries and given to Trades people to develop small businesses/trades.
Brief description follows:-
