Do you have any old hand tools lying around the house that could be used to help others? The Llanelli and Carmarthen Group of Tools for Self Reliance collect and repair unwanted tools and sewing machines which are then sent on to Africa or used for local projects. The group, which has a refurbishing workshop and collection facility in Bancffosfelen, is part of the nationwide charity. Group leader Colin Hill said: “Our workshop provides a purposeful and practical volunteering experience for volunteers as well as helping to reuse and recycle tools which are lying unused in the community and which often end up thrown or rusting away.” If you have anything you can donate contact Colin on 01269 871133.
