Hampshire Cricket Kit Recycling Scheme - Give Your Gear a Second Life

Donate your pre-owned cricket equipment to support grassroots players, schools, and clubs across Hampshire.

Do you have cricket equipment gathering dust at home or in your club store? Pads, bats, gloves, helmets, shoes - if it’s still in good condition, it can help someone else enjoy the game.

Hampshire Cricket Board are launching a Cricket Kit Recycling Scheme, collecting pre-owned cricket equipment and redistributing it to players, schools, and communities who need it most. As well as benefiting clubs, schools and players across Hampshire, we’re also working with our partner programme in Rwanda to send selected equipment to support cricket communities.

Who Can Get Involved?

Whether you’re a club, a school, or an individual, there’s a way for you to take part:

  • Clubs - Clear out surplus or old stock
  • Schools - Donate outgrown or spare equipment
  • Individuals & families - Pass on kit your children have outgrown

Why Take Part?

  • Support grassroots cricket across Hampshire
  • Reduce waste and promote sustainability
  • Help more players access the game
