Tameside Council have 30+ testing booths which were previously used at Tameside COVID testing sites. They have been cleaned down and have not been used since July 2021, so there will be no risk of COVID from the booths. The Council want to donate the booths to groups to recycle/re-use.

They are light weight and fit together by interlocking therefore, do not need screws or nails. They are light weight, but a van would be needed for transporting them.

As we all know Tameside, Oldham and Rochdale have many voluntary and charitable organisations which do amazing work within their communities.  Without the volunteers who give their time so freely, many of these groups would not survive and so it is right that these bighearted people are recognized in a significant and meaningful way.  The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service is the highest award given to local volunteer groups across the UK.
