Chairperson’s Adress
Each year brings new challenges to the organisation and the last year has been no exception. The level of donations into Tools has increased . At the same time, we have also been supporting three projects within Tanzania . This has raised many issues that the organisation has had to look to tackle not least our ability to store, manage and supply the resources coming into the organisation. This has meant that we have had to look for a new approach to our overseas work, further details of which are presented within the partnership section of this report.
Figure 1: Last Shipment boxes
Thanks to Stephen, the organisation has had a smooth transition in recruiting new international volunteers , which has brought stability to our work. We have also been able to attract more local volunteers and this will have to be attend in the future if we are going to cope with the greater inflow of donations into TFS. The programme to offer placements to people with extra support needs , two days a week, has been very successful and there is a waiting list of people applying. They have been very productive refurbishing many of the horticultural and other tools that we will ship later in the year.

04
The educational element of the project suffered a set back with the departure of Catherine and we have been able to recruit a new enthusiastic person in Sue to take over the role. Sue Bamford brings a new energy and direction to the project and is involved in looking at sustainable clothing and the impact it has. With this change, Education for Sustainable Development Programme has been very badly affected by timing of the transition and the schools element. There are plans in the coming year to continue with the schools educational element as well as develop the ideas around sustainable fashion and reuses clothing in creative ways .
Financially , the organization is still reasonably healthy , but we will need to address some key areas within TFS. The first of which is the loss of our partnership worker , Sofia, who did a great job and we were unable to offer a further year due to the regulations regarding visa rules. This has meant that the roles have been divided within the organization but we have to address how this can be managed more effectively next year. The other big decision that the organization has undertaken is to seek funding too replace the existing diesel van with an electric one . The decision was made on both environmental and economic running costs.
This will be TFS 40th year of operating and preparations have begun to celebrate the event with former/present volunteers, supporters and friends who have helped us keep going over that long period. We will also be planning a new shipment to Tanzania to all 3 projects , which should take place around the same time.
As always we would like to thanks those who have helped over the last year in giving there time, commitment and money to enable TFS to continue its important work. This also includes all the staff in the projects in Tanzania.

Partnership Development and Support
Small Industries Development Organisation (SIDO)
SIDO , our main partner in Tanzania, was established in 1973 by the Tanzanian government to support the cooperative and artisan small and medium enterprise sector throughout the country by providing technical and financial advice and assistance . We have been working directly with them since 1994.
In 2023 SIDO Hq introduced a new accounting system which has created major issues with the operations of our centres and has adversely affected their performance. We have been in ongoing discussions to find ways to ameliorate the negative impact, but sadly all the centres have seen a fall out of supply.
MALAWI
This year’s shipment is likely to be the last for the hugely impactful Tools and Training for Livelihoods in Malawi programme, coordinated by the Global Concerns Trust (GCT) and delivered by local partners MACOHA and KODO . At the end of the year GCT informed us that the Scottish government had changed the criteria for applications which means that the Malawi programme is no longer eligible.
This programme transforms the lives of the people who are trained and supported by it. The people are all with disabilities or with mental health issues.
Tools for Solidarity | NIC100614
06
They receive vocational training for 6 – 12 months, accommodation and food during the training, sessions on HIV awareness, sexual and reproductive health rights and gender awareness. They also learn how to make green manure and are taught business skills.
At the end of the training they receive the tools or sewing machine they need to start a business, a solar panel and working materials. Over 96% of those that have passed through this programme have established successful businesses, improving greatly the lives of the graduates and their families and transforming how local people view people with disabilities .
This year we shipped a consignment of 6 treadle bases, 2 sewing machines, 2 cane furniture making tool kits and 12 Haberdashery Kits. These joined tools kits and sewing machines from 3 Scottish tools groups and were sent to Malawi for newly qualified graduates from the Ntcheu and Nkhotakota districts.
We will work to support GCT in seeking alternative funding sources so that this transformative and inspire porgramme can continue.
MWANZA SEWING AND TRAINING CENTER (MSTC)
The period from April 2023 to March 2024 was challenging for MSTC. They sold 147 sewing machines, a small number of knitting machines and delivered training to 137 tailors. The difficult MSTC faced was the balance of stock – too many electrical and Zig Zag machines and not enough straight stitch (SS) machines which are the most popular among tailors.

The difficult MSTC faced was the balance of stock – too many electrical and Zig Zag machines and not enough straight stitch (SS) machines which are the most popular among tailors. This situation will only change with more stock.
TFS has struggled to meet the demand for SS machines as our own stock has been depleted.
Workaid did supply machines to MSTC last year but again not enough SS machines to meet demand.

TFS did not send a container to MSTC this year and are looking for support for MSTC from other tools organisations in the UK and the Netherlands. Despite the difficulties faced MSTC was still able to continue to support its People With Disabilities (PWD) programme.

NJOMBE ARTISAN SUPPORT TRAINING CENTRE (NASTC)
The period from April 2023 to March 2024 was challenging for NASTC.
The centre ran one training for tailors with 20 participants – 19 women and one man and allocated 63 sewing machines. 16% of these went to groups and Vocational Training Centres and the rest to individual tailors, 85% of them women.
Tools sales were down on the previous year. From April 2023 to March 2024 the centre sold 485 hand tools, 8 electrical tools 1 starter kit and one piece of workshop machinery.
The finances of NASTC remain quite healthy , despite its income fluctuating significantly from one month to another according to the activities planned: tools promotions, training for tailors, visits at VTCs.
In April 23 the SIDO regional manager and the centre staff conducted a two day evaluation of the project in Njombe and Makambako town centres visiting tailors and artsians that had received sewing machines and tools from NASTC.
The beneficiaries were surprised and delighted by the visit because after care service is of vital important to them. They felt the project is for artisan support, not profit oriented. The evaluation helped the project better understand the challenges artisans face and to see the impact of training the centre provides in increased income generating capacity .

The PWD programme in Njombe continues to have a real transformative impact on the lives of the beneficiaries.
In January 2023 two young people with disabilities, Anna and Edmund, started their year-long course at the VTC in Njombe. They graduated in December and received a free sewing machine, funding and support from the NASTC staff to enable them to set up their own businesses.
Andrea was on the programme the previous year also completed his tailoring scolarship in December. The centre also provided 3 free sewing machines to the Deaf school in Njombe town and one free machine to a woman tailor with disabilities – Ms Theonila Sanga from Makambako.
The feedback from the PWD and the trainees has been extremely positive because they appreciate that project is really helpful to local tailors, as they get high quality sewing machines at affordable prices and for the PWDs thye gain new hope in the fight against poverty.

IRINGA ARTISAN SUPPORT TRAINING CENTRE (IASTC)
In April 23 John and Sofia arrived in Iringa to set up our newest centre. They were for nearly three month training Catherine and Mohamed in sewing machine and tool refurbishment and in how to manage the project.
Their first two weeks were spent building and fitting out the workshop and in doing a stock take. Then on the 9th May the workshop was formally opened.
There is a real benefit in having two centres so close together – Iringa and Njombe are neighbouring regions– because the staff in the centers can support one another. So in May and June the NASTC visited the Iringa centre to conduct training and then, at the end of June, Catherine traveled with Sofia to Njombe to see how they managed their training programme.

In January 2023 SIDO recruited two people to run the centre. Catherine Nyamba was appointed to be the new workshop coordinator and Mohamed Naly the workshop mechanic. They started their sewing machine repair training in February mentored by Emmanuel Pama, the junior mechanic from the Mwanza centre.
In their first year IASTC sold 66 sewing machines , 635 hand tools , 53 electrical tools , 5 starter kits and 2 pieces of machinery generating an income 21 million Tanzanian shillings . They held two week long training programmes for tailors – 20 attending the first and 18 the second.
They also conducted two promotional visits – one to Ilula-Kilolo in July and another to Mafinga in October. Both proved very successful in boosting sales. The first two young people with disabilities were selected for one year vocational training in tailoring early in 2024 and started their course in March. The situation with SIDO’s new accounting system hampered the development of the centre nevertheless it has got off to a promising start.

Volunteers Report
Volunteering is central to all that TFS is and does. For nearly 40 years people have come to Tools from around the world and across the street; all ages, backgrounds and abilities. They bring their energy , passion , interest , curiosity , humanity and humour . They come to learn, to share, to build a better world and it works because we share values: empathy, compassion and a desire to create sustainable development.
We have our regular team of local and supported volunteers attending each week. They are the backbone of our work force, some with many years experience of volunteering with Tools.
They bring a sense of continuity to the workshop and their skills and expertise are a real asset in supporting and training our international volunteers and in ensuring high quality outputs.
We now have a growing team of local volunteers with specific expertise in areas that really benefit our work – such as electrical testing or reshafting hammers and axes. This year was the first time in over 20 year that we had no volunteers through the EU youth volunteering programme.

That programme had a massive impact on our work and the work of many hundreds of organisations throughout the UK working to improve people’s lives. It also had a massive impact of the lives of the volunteers. TFS will continue to campiagn for this programme to be reinstated.
Despite this loss we were able to recruit 3 full time year long volunteers from France through the French government programme Service Civique with the support of VISAAD. We continued with our long standing relationship with Eirene . We now share one of their volunteers with the Centre for Global Education in Belfast – a mutual beneficial arrangement.
We are extremely grateful to Sofia Tagliani who after finishing her one year solidarity corp volunteering with us agreed to come back and take on the role of partnership worker for a year which she did brilliantly.

Supported Volunteers Programme
Since April 2023 we have continued to have a very full programme with our volunteers with support needs .
We are grateful to the Belfast Trust who continue to fund 6 slots for 6 individuals with a learning disability. This enables us to employ 2 of our volunteers on a part-time basis to coordinate this programme. At the end of March 2024 we were providing placements to 8 individuals from the Belfast Trust area.

----- End of picture text -----
We provide a total of 17 places each week to people with support needs. We have 4 slots each on Monday and Thursday mornings and afternoons.
In addition, we also have one volunteer who comes every Tuesday and cooks lunch for us every two weeks.
Our volunteers have a mix of support needs and abilities . Some have had a brain injury, some have a learning disability, some are on the autism spectrum, some have chronic fatigue and some have mental health needs.
Some of the supported volunteers stay only for a few months but most of our current supported volunteers have been with us for at least 2 years, some of them many years.

The volunteers learn skills of simple repairing and cleaning of hand tools and sewing machines or building wooden boxes. The tasks our volunteers undertake are matched to their abilities . The volunteers find it therapeutic to be doing something useful and to help people who are disadvantaged on the other side of the world.
They also have a social experience meeting the other local and international volunteers. Volunteers have said that the experience increases their personal confidence, social skills as well as their manual skills:

Volunteer speech
In this last year the supported volunteers have made a very big contribution towards the shipments of refurbished hand tools and sewing machines to our overseas partners. In particular the supported volunteers have refurbished large quantities of horticultural tools for our centres in the Njombe and Iringa regions of Tanzania.
We have in the last year started to get more referrals from the Belfast Trust , particularly for people with a learning disability. We continue to support volunteers referred to us by Leonard Cheshire which supports people with an alcohol related brain injury. We also have volunteers who have been referred to us by Cedar Foundation, L’Arche, Orchardville, Sense, Triangle and Bryson Care .

Fundraising Report
This financial year we had a smaller number of funding applications approved, but they were very significant with substantial sums being committed by some of our regular partners.
The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust support for some aspects for our Supported Volunteer . Programme has been made recurrent i.e. it will continue to run from year to year, subject to satisfactory monitoring of outputs.
The ESD programme benefitted greatly from continued support from Irish Aid and from Roger Waters . Irish Aid funding was increased this year to allow a greater number of working hours per week, to permit the continued growth of the programme.
We are very grateful for the on-going support from NIPSA (Northern Ireland Public Service Alliance) and Unicorn for the workshops in Njombe and Iringa, between them covering all the costs of these projects. The contribution of the Halifax Building Society (for our Training Coordinator) is also gratefully acknowledged.
In November, we obtained funding from Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful through their Tackling Textiles initiative. This shortterm funding covered the cost of supplying 20 sewing machines and accessories to community groups across Northern Ireland, for them to use to extend the life of clothing and reduce the volume of textiles going to waste streams. This was a highly successful and well publicised campaign which we plan to repeat next year.

During 2023-24, we received funding from the following organisations:

Financial Report
The Financial Year 2023-24 saw a small profit after the large profit of the previous year. The most striking change was the significant drop in both Income and Expenditure .
Apart from that, on the Income side this was due to large drops in Grants (Both EVS and other Grants) and Donations (no Donation from Roger Waters) and regarding to Expenditure there was a significant drop in the Purchase of Parts & Materials.
No Overseas Payments made.
Both Vehicle and Salary expenditure reduced.
The Project Costs were offset by no Shipping Costs during the year.
Going forward the Loan Repayments will finish in 2024-25. EVS Grants have ceased which will have an impact on total Income.
We should brake even in 24-25 due to a projected increase in Donations and the Income streams from Irish Government and BHSCT Grants.
On the Expenditure side issues with Shipping and Project costs in setting up Dodoma will stretch our financial stability without additional income.
After 24-25 a small, but steady loss is envisaged unless we find other income streams.
We are very reliant on the income from the Irish Government and BHSCT and by way of ensuring our financial security must ensure we comply with the Loan conditions of those two key funders.
The improved Donations figure is almost certainly a one off event which will not be repeated in 25-26.
19
Overall we made a small profit in the financial year. Both income and expenditure dropped significantly.
The expectation remains that we will have a small, but significant, shortfall year on year without identifying new income streams.

Refugees and Asylum Seekers Training Programme (RASP)
Tools for Solidarity started the first Refugee and Asylum Seeker programme (RASP) in 2018 but had to stop for two years because of the pandemic.
This year we ran two training programmes in November 23 and March 24th. The course was designed for five participants and consisted of three days of basic learning on sewing machine refurbishing and sewing . The aim is to support refugees and asylum seekers in feeling welcomed in the local society, encourage their participation, and provide them with new skills for their future. The training was completely free of charge for the participants, who have also been reimbursed for the transport costs to the Belfast workshop. At the end of the three days they also received a plastic sewing machine, some sewing material and a certificate of completion.
The three-day training was mentored by John, with the support of the sewing section volunteers: Melie, Zoe, Karina and Nora. The volunteers provided individual support to each participant during the training. A wonderful occasion for them to share the knowledge they acquired since the beginning of their volunteering. On the third day, thanks to Elisabeth, the participants received training how to use their new machine. The participants enjoyed both repairing the sewing machines and trying their hand at some simple sewing projects.
22
The first training in November was very well attended by the 4 women and one man recruited. They all finished the training successfully and each received their sewing machine and certificate.
We will have to give careful consideration about how to ensure that future programmes are fully attended despite a minimum language level being required, one of the goals of the training was to give the people an opportunity to meet and talk together in English . Overall, this aspect was achieved because, especially during the breaks and lunchtime, the participants chatted and shared.
We value also the fact of having encouraged some of the people to try something new , not only in terms of manual skills but also in increasing their confidence in moving through the city to find the workshop, interacting with some local and international volunteers, communicating in person, by phone and through the emails. The feedback we received from the participants has been very positive.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)
This report provides information regarding Tools For Solidarity Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) programme for 2023/24. The work of the ESD group during this period was funded by Irish Aid and Roger Waters . We are very grateful for their support.
The objectives of the ESD programme include:
Raising awareness of the issues of inequality, poverty, climate change, exploitation of natural resources and overconsumption.
Promoting sustainability .
Encouraging everyone to reflect on how our lives and actions impact the world and others.
Engendering the ability to think critically and enact solutions to these issues and changes to our lifestyles.
This has been a year of mixed fortunes for the ESD programme. A large amount of excellent work was completed with schools and community groups, as detailed below, but there were also some staffing difficulties.
24
After 4 wonderful years, our Education Officer Roisin Sloan decided to seek new challenges at the end of the 2023 academic year. A new Officer was appointed ready for September 2023, but had to resign at the end of September due to health issues.
Finding the right person to replace her took some time, but we were very pleased to welcome Ms Sue Bamford in January 2024. Sue comes with a wealth of experience in development education and has made a strong impression since then.
We would also like to thank Nora Treichel , a European volunteer who made a huge contribution to the work through the year. Nora worked two days a week for TFS and three days for the Centre for Global Education, an arrangement which will continue into 2024-25.

25
PRIMARY SCHOOLS, AFTER SCHOOLS CLUBS and COMMUNITY GROUPS
In the academic year 2023-24, Tools for Solidarity delivered the ESD programme to 7 primary schools, reaching a total of 650 pupils. All of these included multiple sessions, with a minimum of 4 sessions per school. These numbers are well down on the previous year, due to the time when no Education Officer was in post.
Given these challenges, the Education Officer focused on what could be achieved in the timeframe available, focusing on the Adult and Community group sector, and Youth Groups. This led to delivering multiple sessions to 13 new community groups, and the development of a large project in collaboration with Belfast City Council. These groups were adult leisure groups, community activism groups, council-run community programmes, youth and womens groups.

ESD FUTURE PROJECTIONS
TFS is looking forward to the new academic year 2024-25, with a stable ESD team in place and able to builds on the foundations laid this year.
The primary school programme will be fully back on track, but the new emphasis on adult community work will also continue.
A major Fashion Show is planned for September 2024, and garments from the Fashion Show will go on exhibition in October / November meaning their production is not limited to the one showing on 27th September but provide an ongoing archive of the project.
Belfast City Council sees this as a pilot project and due to the extremely favourable feedback already received from both participants and council community workers, BCC has committed to run the program again in 2025 . This fills a space in the ESD timetable when schools are on holiday (June - September).
