Toolstation
Doing #SomethingConstructive together to develop the next generations of DIYers and tradespeople.
Toolstation’s funding goes hand-in-hand with match-funding from the likes of other National Partners like Sport England – who match-fund all of our projects benefitting sports/physical activity, including the sports projects featured below.
Building ambitions and the next generation of tradespeople
- Like Mohamed, at YMCA Dickerage, South London
- Like X young lads from Wembdon Village Hall, Bridgwater, the home of Toolstation
- Like Millie and Hayden from TPF Parkour, Norwich
- Like Joe, from Amber Foundation, Devon
- “This project potentially influenced a young man to make a decision that could have saved his life” – creating the Redditch Youth Hub
Boosting grassroots sports clubs
- Our first project together – helping Coventrians RFC celebrate their centenary
- “This means the absolute world to me and our kids” – Middleton Boxing Club, Manchester
- A competition-winning club with Northampton Saints and Travis Perkins
- Boosting Bilal with Travis Perkins and Places for People, Leeds
- TLS Boxing Gym Opened with VIY transforming it into a vibrant training space
- Toolstation and Northampton Saints join VIY to renovate a local sports clubhouse
- Transforming Westway Boxing Club with upgraded facilities for all
“This is the most excited I’ve been since working here – the refurbishment will make a huge difference to young people and their lives… Community is so important and after COVID-19, the centre is helping bring everybody together… It is more multicultural and multi-generational than ever before.“
Daniel Slocombe, Centre Manager for YMCA Dickerage
