Volunteers
Particularly during the build phase of the current location, a lot of our members really pitched in & helped out above and beyond the call of duty. Some purchased goods needed out of their own pocket. Some donated equipment. Some simply turned up & helped clean the floor. Everything helped & CCHS would not be here without their effort.
Equipment & Tools
Many people/groups outside of our membership have provided tools and equipment to CCHS.
- John Boxall (@tronixstuff) – Component storage, Hot air/solder rework station and lots of components.
- Dave Jones (@eevblog) – True RMS Multimeter
- Element 14 (as part of the Great Hackerspace Challenge) – 10 x Soldering stations & various other tools
- Darryl Greensill of Stewarts Trophies for the kind donation of the Redsail Laser Cutter.
Co-operative Organisations
CCHS is not the only organisation of this type, and we’ve built a great relationship with other organisations of a similar nature. In many cases, we’ve worked co-operatively, sharing resources to build something that neither could do by themselves. Many of these same groups helped up when we were starting out with sage advice & useful information.
