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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

We are really pleased to report that Nick Perchard, the former CEO of Herts FA and now working for the Premier League, has accepted our invitation to fill the vacant Trustee position. Nick will be a great addition to the team and we look forward to working with him as a Trustee. Welcome on board […]
We have sponsored the week long footy camp again this year and we are really pleased to keep our link with Peter Thompson going. A small team from KitAid will be visiting the project for the final day of the camp in July and we are looking forward to meeting Peter and his fantastic team […]
One of the things I really love about KitAid is our ability to operate on a shoestring budget, but at the same time, we are able to support partner charities. Our operating costs are about £3k per annum and as we have surplus funds from last year, we have decided to make 5 grants of […]
We have been approached by the supporters club of Airdrie who want to run a kit amnesty for us which they are linking in to a season ticket offer for local children. They also have good contacts with the Tartan Army, so there is scope for the kit amnesty to be widened to a much […]
