Cricket Kit Recycling
Discover Cricket Kit Recycling
- Our cricket kit recycling programme is providing access to the sport for young people in the UK and abroad who would otherwise not be able to participate due to a lack of the right cricket kit and equipment.
- We collect usable cricket kit from across the UK through a network of local collection hubs.
- The cricket kit is then sorted and redistributed to partner organisations, who can put it to great use in their communities.
Want to donate your unwanted cricket kit?
We have collection hubs located across the country which are set up to take your cricket kit donations.

Our Cricket Kit Recycling Impact
Watch this video to see how we distribute donated cricket kit to young people in the UK and abroad who find it hard to access sport.
How does it help young people?
- Having the correct cricket kit gives more young people the opportunity to play cricket and develop crucial life skills such as teamwork, communication and confidence, alongside improving their overall health and wellbeing.
- In recent years, we have sent large amounts of kit to projects in India, Germany, Antigua, Brazil, Romania, Rwanda, Uganda, The Gambia, Mexico and across the UK.
