A TOOL share scheme is being launched in Salisbury to help charities and community groups complete crucial projects.

As part of its 40th anniversary celebrations, Brandon Hire is giving groups the chance to apply for free hire to help complete projects on time and within budget.

Shaun Batten, branch manager, said: “Having the right tools is often the key to a successful job, but we know that many local projects get abandoned because there are simply not enough funds to buy or hire equipment and that’s where we come in.

“It doesn’t matter whether you need a 20ft ladder, a concrete mixer or a drill, where possible we will try to help.”

To apply for help, you can send details to Brandon Hire Tool Share, c/o Vital, 14a Clarendon Avenue, Leamington Spa, CV32 5PZ, or email jaz@thevitalagency.co.uk.
