KitAid Grants

Probably one of the most enjoyable aspects of KitAid is being able to help so many people across the world.  As you will know, we operate a very cost effective model and we have always worked on the basis that if we do build up a surplus of funds, we will mange our finances responsibly […]

Wear a sports shirt to work day

Many thanks to Julian Chenery from AIG Insurance for arranging this event, which happened on Friday 13 June. I have seen press cuttings from different parts of the UK, including Devon, Cornwall and Glasgow. Julian is in the process of collecting all the kit so we are not sure exactly how much we will receive […]

KitAid Kampala Cup

Well done to Stegota FC on winning the very first KAKC final on 7 June. They beat Naaj Marine 7 – 3 and lifted a beautiful trophy which you can see on their Facebook page. Naaj Marine are linked to Marine FC in Liverpool, who we know very well through Barry Lenton. Barry has given […]

Arsenal Ladies

We recently met Rachel Yankey and at our last boxing up session it was great to meet Jordan Nobbs. I have always wanted to develop a partnership with ALFC as they are followed all over the world and it links in with a lot of the work we do to support girls football/sports projects across […]

St Lucia Donation

Quite a while ago we had a meeting with a charity from St Lucia (Sacred Sports Foundation) which was set up in memory of Keith Alexander, the late manager of Lincoln City.  I was unaware of the level of poverty in such a beautiful location and we were really impressed with their work.  We finally […]

Boxing Up in May

The May session was another really good boxing up and over 100 boxes left the building with 4 different charities.  It was also nice to see Janet and Dom Neville who came down from Liverpool to attend the session.  Helen drove down from Birmingham and we also had a charity attending from Cardiff, so distance […]

Stegota FC/KitAid Kampala Cup

Sadly Stegota were pipped at the post on the final day of the season for a place in the full time FUFA Big league in Uganda.  This is really disappointing as they are geared up for the next level and they recently beat a team who are in the Ugandan Cup Final which includes some […]

Airdrieonians FC Amnesty

We have entered into an amnesty with Airdrie which will kick off later in June.  The guys have received formal sponsorship and will be offering all under 12’s a free season ticket if they donate their old kit.  They have set themselves a target of collecting 10,000+ items of kit and tried to register it […]

Manchester Utd FC

Probably one of the biggest brands in world football and a club that wouldn’t normally work with small charities like KitAid.  Well, thanks to our fantastic Patron, Graham received a call from the MUFC club secretary as their kit manager had held on to the letter Graham sent out to all 92 league clubs last year.  […]
