Sports Gear Revived
Sports Gear Revived collects and redistributes unwanted sports clothing and equipment to schools and groups within lower-socioeconomic and higher-deprivation communities in New Zealand.
We enable more to participate in sports, thereby enjoying the associated health and social benefits, immersing in nature, and creating better environmental awareness.
The added outcome is giving sports gear a new lease of life rather than sending them to landfill.
We believe in providing opportunities to those less fortunate, enabling more to participate in sports.
​​
Sports Gear Revived coordinates the collection of sports gear and delivers it to schools within the lower-socioeconomic and higher-deprivation communities of the Waikato and Northland regions of New Zealand. This includes sports clothing, tracksuits, swimwear, shoes and bags, and equipment such as bats, rackets and balls. Donating to the selected schools also positively impacts the surrounding communities.
​
Initiated in 2012, it was primarily a means for donating excess sports gear accumulated by our athletes. Now this initiative is supported by retailers, sporting event organisers, schools and sports clubs
.​
Donating to Sports Gear Revived is one of the Athletes for Nature Action Steps - give your sports gear a second chance to give someone else their first chance.
