donations and support
TEECH's main request is physical donations of new or used goods i.e. clothing and toys. The items we receive during the year are stored at our facilities in Colchester and are taken as aid on either our main summer trip or Christmas shoebox trip.
Our wishlist for general items required are:
- Mens, womens and children's clothing in good condition so they can be handed out to those who require them
- Toys - particularly outdoor play equipment
- Medical/Walking Aids
- Bedding, curtains and other linen
- Knitted Blankets - these are ideal for our Christmas trips
- NO knitted 'fish & chip' jumpers (tank top style) thank you
- Wind up torches for families with no electric
- NO TVs or large items of furniture thank you
The main supplies for a Project are either sourced at discount or donated - if you can help with any of the following then please get in touch:
- Cookers (Catering size)
- Paint - random colours required for mural painting
- Paint brushes and rollers
- Tiles
- Sanitary ware (sinks, toilets, urinals) - new!
The TEECH Volunteers Team also require items to carry out the project, therefore if you can help with these we would be most grateful:
- Drill
- Paint Brushes
- Paint Rollers
- Commodes
If you are able to make a financial donation online please see the Donation Link page.
For any other donations please contact Holly
Fundraising
If you choose to sell any items you no longer require and would like to donate the proceeds to TEECH then when selling on ebay, please choose Telecoms Eastern European Challenge when listing your item as your charity of choice to donate the proceeds to.
If you have a suggestion for alternative fundraising ideas please email Holly, we are especially interested in ideas which would involve our members and allow them to raise the funds to pay for their trip in August.
All of our members are unpaid so 100% of your donations goes to the running costs of the charity and used where the need is greatest, on our projects.

medical donation
A number of hospital beds have been donated by Colchester and Harwich NHS which have been taken to Moldova. Thanks to volunteer Mary Rothwell for sourcing the fantastic beds which are much needed at the hospitals in Moldova. |
bike
TEECH also take bikes out to Romania and Moldova. This young boy benefited from a bike and would be able to cycle to school each day rather than walking. |
Thanks to Christchurch in Clacton, Essex, who each year, put together gift bags for the children in the summer and christmas.
