We are deeply sad to share disappointing news regarding our community initiative.

This morning our small electricals donation box was stolen from its location at Acton Market. This box was crucial for collecting necessary broken or unwanted items to be used in our free electrical repair workshop next week — A programme designed to provide FREE vocational training and skills development for local unemployed individuals.

This theft has left us with a significant shortfall in the items required to successfully run our upcoming repair workshop.

We Need Your Help to Replenish Supplies

We urgently request assistance from the community to help us replenish our supplies. If you have any spare small electrical items—functional or broken—such as kettles, toasters, lamps, hair dryers, blenders, or similar household devices, your donation would be invaluable.
These items are essential for enabling us to deliver the full training curriculum and continue our work in promoting valuable repair skills while reducing local electronic waste.

New Donation Drop-Off Points

To ensure the continuity of donations, we are replacing the stolen collection box at Acton Market immediately. You can drop off items at the following locations this week:

Acton Market: Tomorrow and Saturday, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Acton Cinema: During their regular opening times.
Acton West London Offices: This Tuesday, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.

If you are a local business and can host a donation box for us please email us at market@actionwestlondon.org.uk

We appreciate your continued support in helping us maintain this important community resource that help others in the community.
