TradeKart

Every 12 minutes, a van is broken into, adding to the staggering 46,000 reported cases of tool theft each year. Thieves are going to extreme lengths, even cutting open vans despite security measures. For many tradespeople, the result is crime reference numbers handed out over the phone with no follow-up, soaring insurance premiums, and repair costs mounting to thousands. It’s more than just tools being stolen—it’s the livelihoods and futures of hardworking tradespeople being torn apart. Join us and Shoaib Awan on 3rd February at Parliament Square to stand against tool theft and demand real action 🛠️✊ #StopToolTheft #TradesUnited #ProtectOurTools #ToolTheftProtest
