FUNDING

2024 has been an amazing year for Preloved Sports CIC, and we are thrilled about the possibilities that lie ahead! However, we need YOUR support to make it happen and continue our mission to reduce waste while making fitness more accessible and affordable to everyone.

Earlier this year, we received generous funding from Turnstile, which enabled us to recruit Andy Norton as our Business Development Manager. Since joining in August, Andy has been a catalyst for change: securing charity places at the Great North Run, forming new partnerships, and expanding our network of donation bins across Yorkshire and the Midlands.
Our efforts are already having a huge impact! To date, we have kept nearly 2,500kg of sportswear out of landfill, with an additional 500kg stored in our lockups. We’ve also rolled out a transparent and fair pricing structure, addressing a common question from our community.

One of our standout partnerships has been with Harrier Trail Running, who send us their seconds for resale or redistribution. Over 163 seconds have already gone to new homes or to those in need through Kitsquad. We’re eager to collaborate with more brands—if you’re interested, get in touch!

As we prepare for the next stage of growth, we face a critical funding need. Andy’s funding runs out in April, and we are seeking £12,000 to continue his role for another year until April 2026. With this funding, we aim to further expand our work and ensure the future sustainability of Preloved Sports CIC. After this period, we are confident that we will be fully self-sufficient, using proceeds from resale to fund our work and create local employment opportunities for vulnerable individuals. Even if you can invest £500 – £1,000, that would be fantastic as it can help shape our future.

Our mission is not about maximizing profit—it’s about helping those in need, maintaining our community values, and ensuring a sustainable future. The director team is made up entirely of volunteers, and we rely on the support of people like YOU to continue our work.

If you’re able to help or know someone who might be interested in supporting us, please drop us an email at: michael@prelovedsports.org.uk

Together, we can make a real difference.
