Two social enterprises in Detroit are the beneficiaries of a donation of 250 tanned hides from automotive group Ford. They will use the leather to make a wide variety of products.

Ford is in the process of moving its product development centre in Dearborn to a new location and, as part of the move, storage spaces at the centre are being demolished. In one, workers found the leather, left over from projects to build prototype vehicles.
