Raising funds, acquiring equipment or offering services to support the amateur radio community here in the UK. The idea started from a request to clear a radio shack of very dear friend who had sadly passed away (became silent key). Our thoughts were along the lines of being part of a radio club or society, members would usually be asked if there wished to purchase and items before they go on general sale.
Developing that idea we formed HamLabs to handle repairs and sales of equipment, to make donations on behalf families to nominated charities or organisations from the sales of equipment donated to HamLabs. It was soon realised that some donated equipment was in need of repair so our own engineers will make cost effective repairs where possible. This repair service is also offered to HamLabs community members.
To give back to the Amateur (Ham) radio community. Support new people into amateur radio. Support community members with genuine need. Support youth organisations developing ideas for the future.
