VOLUNTEERS have celebrated the launch of their new Tools for Self Reliance workshop in Ringwood.

A Champagne toast was given to the new industrial unit and the people who have donated £300 a year for the three-year term of their lease.

They include the Rotary Clubs of Ringwood, Verwood, Ferndown and Bransgore as well as agricultural consultants Attwell Associates Ltd, Century 21 Business Products Ltd, The Ringwood Musical and Dramatic Society, The Ringwood Carnival Society, Raymond Brown Group and Barker-Mill Foundation.

Individual donations came from John Moore, Fiona Savory and Jackie Elliff.

The new site is by In Excess off the A31 for people wishing to donate tools.
