Do you have sports kit that doesn't get used as much as it could?
Or would you prefer to keep your lovely nice running shoes ready for race day, and have a spare pair for Goodgym tasks?
(Part of the 100 Days of Action initiative with Goodgym- https://www.goodgym.org/stories/100-days-of-action)
Simon from Goodgym Islington will be hosting an evening for swapping or donating your used running kit for those who need it.
All items can be swapped with participants and sign ups, and anything left over can be taken home or offered to Jog On Recycling, an organisation dedicated to keeping sports kit out of landfill.
We prefer that the kit is in good condition where possible, and must be clean and washed.
Simon will be producing a post about how to effectively clean running shoes to extend their lifespan (especially after muddy Goodgym tasks).
Prior to the event, an email will be sent to all sign ups to enquire about what items they can offer to the swap.
We are looking for:
T-shirts, shorts, jumpers, jackets, coats, hats, caps, socks, shoes, boots, bags, vests, belts, tri-suits, cross country and track spikes etc.
Any unswapped kit can be taken home, or left in store to be donated to:
Pre-loved Sports CIC https://prelovedsports.org.uk/
or
Ringcross Community Centre clothing bank, Islington
Any questions, comment below or message Simon directly.
