  Chesham The Workaid Shop. The shop is next door to Workaid, The Old Boot Factory, 71 Townsend Road, Chesham, Bucks, HP5 2AA. Tel: 01494 775220
www.workaid.co.uk, email: admin@workaid.org.
Workaid tackles poverty by supplying disadvantaged people with tools they need to acquire practical skills and become self-supporting. Sometimes things are donated which are not entirely suitable such as electronic knitting machines and garter carriages. So they now have a shop to sell such items and to help make some money to help their work.
The shop is open Thursday and Friday from 10-4 and Saturday 10-1. It has a range of items for hobbies including fabric, yarn, and tools; and if there is some piece of machine knitting equipment that you need, it is worth asking if they have one.
