Sending Apparatus to LabAid
If you have anything to donate, firstly please call LabAid or send an email, summarising the equipment , together with your telephone number.
- With prior arrangement, apparatus
can be either:-
- brought to the LabAid workshop in Amersham
- taken to a local Entertainer shop
- picked up by a volunteer collector
- posted to LabAid
Labels for use when sending apparatus via The Entertainer toy shop.
