ILKLEY Tools for Africa, a small group of local volunteers continues to collect unwanted tools, sewing machines and haberdashery and send them through the national charity Workaid to projects in a number of East and Central African countries.

One photograph shows a half-filled Workaid van on a visit to the group’s storage space. The other shows more tools and sewing machines waiting to be loaded. Their store has been swelled by collections that took place recently, one organised by Ilkley Wharfedale Rotary, an annual event, and the other by Silsden Repair Café.
