How to get involved
Donations
We are grateful to collaborate with a diverse array of employer partners who frequently contribute surplus products or used equipment to our learners, and sometimes, even supply brand-new state-of-the-art low carbon technology for their training in our classrooms and workshops. This proactive approach helps avert items from ending up in landfills or being wasted and ensures our learners are using the best and most up-to-date products within their learning.
