Bag4Sport
Bag4Sport Limited (B4S) have helped over 300 organisations raise over £40,000 in funding. We are a social enterprise based in Devizes, Wiltshire that supports community organisations, sports clubs, schools, youth projects, communities and charities across the UK by turning unwanted and useless clothing into useful cash, at zero cost to the organisation.
B4S also helps to encourage waste awareness and recycling. The textiles collected are re-used as affordable clothing in second hand shops in less privileged countries, where the unused clothes are sent for textile recycling.
Getting involved is simple: B4S bags or posters are issued to the organisation, each with a letter, and given out to members. Bags are then filled by the members etc, then collected on an agreed date, weighed, and a receipt issued. We then pay the organisation 40p per kilo (£400 per tonne), and issue a certificate of achievement. Cheques are sent out within 6 weeks. B4S can also deliver a short presentation if necessary to raise awareness recycling and the scheme, and storage issues can be resolved by the clothes being donated on the collection date when we are on site. 50 full bags could earn a club as much as £200, and B4S pay a further 2% on top for donations over a tonne.
Organisations can also choose to have some, or the entire amount paid to a development enterprise of your choice, or to one of our affiliates. The types of things that can be donated are Clothing (paired shoes, belts, caps, bags etc), Bedding (sheets, pillows, duvets, covers), Curtains, Soft toys etc. B4S are also developing a scheme where unused sports kits and equipment can be donated to grass roots teams in the developing world with kitaid
