What is kitmatch?

kitmatch is our free kit donation programme for schools, grassroots organisations and community sports clubs.

Matching pre-gamed kit with new players

Every day, kitround receives donated sports kit and equipment that might otherwise sit unused or end up in landfill.

Through kitmatch, we connect these items — from training tops and shorts to boots and gear — with primary schools, secondary schools, grassroots clubs and community sports organisations that need them most.

The result is simple but powerful: every item gets a second life on the field, helping more people play, participate and belong.

Share the impact

The only thing we ask in return is that you share a photo of your team or group using the kit, and tag # kitround (@kitroundclub) on social media. This helps inspire others to get involved.

"I can't thank you enough for the kit you sent. The children chose the one they liked the best. They now know this is theirs and will be very proud wearing them for our first match. The process was incredibly simple, and communication was great throughout."
