Hey there, fitness fans and running enthusiasts! 🏃♀️
We’re reaching out with an urgent appeal for your pre-owned running, fitness, and sports apparel and equipment donations. Do you have sportswear that’s no longer in use and taking up space in your closet? By donating your garments and giving them a loving new home, you can make a profound difference in the lives of those in need. ♻️ Together, we can keep that gear running and create a positive impact! 🏃♀️
How Your Donations Help: The proceeds from our sales go directly to support three wonderful local charities, ensuring that every purchase benefits our community. When you donate, you’re not just giving gear a second chance—you’re also promoting sustainability. By redistributing pre-owned sportswear, we’re extending the lifecycle of clothing and reducing our environmental footprint. Let’s run together towards a greener, kinder future! 🌍
What to Donate: We’d be absolutely delighted to receive your donations. We accept all types of running, fitness, and sports garments in all adult and children’s sizes, including shoes, accessories and technical gear, But please consider the following:
- Club Kit: Clubs usually have their own exchange systems in place. If possible, consider donating your used club kit back to the relevant club. Where no such system exists, we’d gladly accept the items.
- Race/Event T-Shirts: We are frequently asked about donating race or event t-shirts. Yes, we gratefully accept these too and can repurpose them. Alternatively, if you have some favourite race t-shirts, why not upcycle them into a memory quilt? It’s a beautiful way to preserve those precious moments and treasure them forever at Too Many T-Shirts.
How to Donate:
- Post: Your donations are deeply appreciated. Please Contact Us for posting details. While we can reimburse postage costs, please be mindful that we are a not-for-profit organisation.
- Individual Collection: Reach out to us to let us know that you wish to make a donation for individual collection. If you live in Inverclyde, Glasgow, or the surrounding area, we can arrange a collection from a designated address. We are still working on setting up more Donation Sites to make it even easier for you.
- Club Collection: Are you part of a running club or sports group? We’d be delighted if you’d consider volunteering by setting up a Donation Station for members within your clubhouse or sports hall. When your donation bin is full, we’ll arrange a collection. It couldn’t be simpler! Download your Donation Station Poster and start your recycling journey today.
- Race/Event Collection: Are you a race director or someone who organises running or sports events? Would you consider hosting a pre-race registration collection at your event? Rerun It can be on hand to facilitate the collection and minimise disruption. We’d be delighted to work in partnership with you. Please Contact Us here.
- Individual or Business Donation Site: Are you a business owner or individual in the Glasgow, Inverclyde, or surrounding area? Would you be willing to set up a Donation Station at your site for members of the running/sports community to donate their pre-owned apparel? Your support would be invaluable in helping those in need. Please Contact Us if you can help.
What Happens to Your Donations: Your generous donations are beacons of hope and kindness. These items find their way to individuals and groups who need them the most, supporting those who may have otherwise gone without. Whether they’re resold in our online store, given directly to those in need, or shared with our partner agencies like Acorn Trails (where pre-owned running shoes embark on a journey to the Shoe Share Malawi initiative), each donation makes a world of difference. 🌟
Thank You for Donating: Your effort will play a vital role in helping us support our community, reduce our environmental footprint, and nurture a culture of giving and reusing. Together, we’re not just extending the life of sports gear—we’re fostering a spirit of sustainability and compassion. ♻️
