Steve , in the past when I have been involved in various charity events , it has been easier to get materials rather than cash , B & Q have helped in the past
I have also found Lions or similar clubs good for buying small items that you may need
I always say , it doesn't harm to ask , they can say no but unless you ask , you don't known
Steve 309 good to start thinking of ideas - look on pinterest and Youtube also start collecting pallets, good to try and store them some where dry I brought a few tarpaulins from B&Q
found this on Youtube may be dog home but most of it the same as building a cold frame

Gardengirl , amazed at the amount of wood you got
when ever I have taken pallets apart I end up destroying it , DIY , never my thing , can do basics , like making a gate
Steve best of luck with pallet furnishings , have seen some great stuff on Internet , are you going for sponsorship for nails , paint ect
Steve 309 that sound great - lots of different styles of seats and tables that could be made
Busy pallet times ahead then for all
GWRS that is cause I mainly using my pallet breaker tool to take the pallets apart and it does really well so glad I brought it
Gardengirl , could you put a picture of a " pallet breaker " on the sited , interested in seeing what one looks like
If you split the blocks that keep the top and bottom of the pallet apart it is easier to de-nail the rest.
GWRS here is a pic of the tool
From eBay Roughneck Heavy Duty Demolition & Lifting Bar from a seller called my-tool-shed cost just over £20 it is about 94 cms high
Makes things a lot quieter - other than getting out the nails which is the noisiest bit and less bending
Been sorting out my pallet coldframe today in the garden will be a longer one than the first one built as this one will be for the allotment plot
so lots of sawing, bashing and lifting of planks of pallets
GWRS - good q about sponsorship. I'll mention it to the relevant person (the curate's wife, whose garden is one of those I look after)
Keen to get started now but we don't get into the shop till January. Still, we can collect pallets and start taking them apart...
