Bag 4 Sport

Bag4Sport is a method of fundraising for your club, so unlike the other schemes mentioned in this document it doesn’t require an application and review process. You simply register for free and then need to engage your members, friends and family to donate all of their unwanted textiles. Bag 4 Sport will then buy this from your organisation at the rate of 40p per kilo (£400 per tonne), and then re-sell this as affordable clothing in Eastern Europe and Africa.

If you are interested in doing a bit of work to motivate your members to get involved in this scheme it is a sure fire way to raise some extra funds that could go towards anything you like that will benefit your club.
