What is kitmatch?

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

Matching pregamed 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 donate these items, from training tops, shorts to boots and accessories with primary schools, secondary schools, grassroots clubs and community sports organisations that need them most.

We're pausing the kitmatch service from 1 June – 31
August 2026. We've been completely overwhelmed by the incredible response thank you to everyone who has reached out.

We will do our very best to respond to all requests received before 1 June.

Make a donation

We ask for a small donation fee of £10 per parcel. This simply
covers postage and helps us continue redistributing kit to those who need it
most.

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."
