Women in Alsager were asked to donate good used or new bras to an event promoting sustainability in the town.

And anyone with unwanted tools, sewing or knitting machines can took them along to the event at Alsager Civic on Saturday (November 4th)

The town celebrated sustainability and different cultures at its free One World Festival.

Volunteer Gordon Degg from Alsager who works with Tools With A Mission to help craft a new life for people in Africa was at the event.

Alsager Nub News told here how the retired design engineer from Birch Avenue, pictured below, is helping to craft a new life for people in Africa by collecting unwanted tools and sewing and knitting machines.

He is also using his clever woodcraft skills to carve a better life for people in Africa through the church-based charity, Tools with a Mission (TWAM).
