The Eastleigh Neighbourhood Policing Team have set up a project to build an F.24 Electric Kit Car. Once built the car will be used to race gainst other Electric Cars from similar schemes around the county. It will also be used as a tool for positive community engagement by the police as well as the young, local people associated with the project.
The project aims to:
Support and educate young people to participate positvely in their communities & become responsible citizens.
Prevent young people from becoming victims of crime.
Improve Peer guidance and relationships between young people and the Police - breaking down barriers.
Promote the Welfare and Wellbeing of young persons.
We are proud to be supporting the Haynes Mechanix project with the supply of tools to kit out their workshop. It’s a really worthwhile initiative and we are very pleased to be involved with the project.
The project teaches young people all the essential, practical aspects of maintaining and repairing a car. It feels very rewarding to know that our tools are being put to such good use, helping young people to acquire useful skills for life and earn a valuable qualification too.

We are delighted to be supporting local organisation, Eastleigh Southern Parishes Men’s Shed, part of the international Men’s Sheds Association.
Some of you may know about the Men’s Sheds organisation and the supportive, friendly environment it provides. Originating in Australia, it aims to address some of the issues facing older men such as a losing a sense of purpose with the loss of their work role, status, workmates and income. Today there are many ‘Mens’s Sheds’ around the UK, where members come together to work on practical tasks and projects.
We’re very pleased to be working with our local Men’s Shed by donating a range of tools including chisels, spanner sets, saws and more. We look forward to seeing the members putting their new tools to good use in the local community.

Each year, employers with 250 or more employees must publish and report specific figures about their gender pay gap. Draper Tools Limited have submitted their latest report to the government online.
View our gender pay gap report
Who Works at Draper Tools?The gender pay gap is the average difference between the remuneration for men and women, and the UK Government introduced new regulations in 2017 with the aim of bridging that gap.
Gender pay gap sometimes gets confused with equal pay i.e. different levels of pay for the same work: something which has been illegal since the 1970 Equal Pay Act.
Of course, in any company a gender pay gap will occur if the top jobs are held by male members of staff, despite paying male and female employees the same amount for similar roles. At Draper Tools, all our Board members are male, something possibly to be expected in what tends to be a male orientated industry.
However, the Company prides itself in following a well-developed, fair recruitment process and in providing the same training and development opportunities to both its male and female employees.
Gender Pay Gap ReportingOn 6th April 2017, the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017 came into force. They require businesses with 250 employees or more to publish information annually stating the differences in both the average pay and bonuses of their male and female employees.
Pay at Draper Tools LimitedThe gender pay and bonus gap are based on a snapshot taken in March 2019. When reviewing the figures, need to recognise that at Draper Tools Limited:
This is in line with a common theme seen across the UK work force.
We also need to be mindful that the tool industry tends to be male orientated.
What Improvements/Initiatives are Under Way?Draper Tools want to be an ‘employer of choice’ and are committed to creating an environment where all our employees can achieve their professional goals. We have already introduced several new initiatives that support that commitment:
