Donating Old Tools or Equipment
Thank you for thinking of us
We are very grateful to everyone who wants to support the farm and are glad to be able to reuse tools, equipment and materials, keeping costs down and items out of landfill. However, there are only certain things we can use. We need to make sure all items are safe for users, and for the soil. Below is a list of items we need.
Please don’t leave items in the farmyard without checking whether we can use them. If you would like to donate something on the ‘wish list’, feel free to drop it off in the farmyard. If you have something that’s not on the list, please check first by contacting us before delivering it.
Current Wish List
The community allotments and garden would welcome donations of:
Hand tools in safe and complete working order
(sharp blades, intact handles, rust-free etc)
Work gloves
Durable plastic propagation trays
(not individual pots)
Solid wood over 1m length
Brown cardboard without paint, sellotape or stickers
(needs to biodegrade safely)
Working wheelbarrows and four-wheel handcarts
We ask that you drop these off next to the Welcome cabin in the farmyard (we can’t collect).

x Broken or blunt tools or equipment
x Broken, disintegrating or thin/flimsy plastic pots
