We’ve teamed up with the brilliant folk at East of England Co-op to launch our 2019 Kit Amnesty!
From April 1st 2019, the Co-op will be hosting collection points for sports kit and equipment in all 122 East of England Co-op food stores across Suffolk, Essex and Norfolk. They will be encouraging customers to bring along their unwanted sports kits and equipment, which will be collected and packed up in a 20ft container, donated by friends and donors Fendercare to ship out to Lomé, Togo in September.
It’s a great opportunity to recycle unwanted sports clothing and kit that you no longer want or need, which will be well used by underprivileged children in Lomé.
The Co-op are collecting any sportswear: tracksuits, T-shirts, tops, bottoms, shirts, shorts, socks, boots, trainers. Training aids for football, cricket, rugby, hockey, athletics; balls, bibs, cones… All kit and equipment must be clean and in good working order.
Simon Milton, Futurestars director commented: ” Futurestars Ambassador Titus Bramble and I visited the East of England Co-op Store in Felixstowe this morning to launch this amazing Kit Amnesty and partnership. We met the Co-op management and staff and saw the first pieces of sports kit donated into the specially designed Co-op recycling bins. We would encourage anyone who has unwanted sports kit and equipment to support the Kit Amnesty – your donations will be put to good use.”
