Transforming Surplus Kit into Opportunity: Our Surrey FA Partnership
Over 1000 kits make their way to Kenya
Last year, we partnered with Surrey FA to take their surplus kits for donations. The idea came about when our Marketing Coordinator had ties with the organisation. Since that partnership we have gone over Meadowbank and collected over 1000 kits from tops, shorts, boots, etc.
Since this partnership, we also had a football workshop take place for young people in Chiswick to get into the football industry. We had four industry figures come in who've had a multitude of experience from League 2 all the way to the Premier League. Roles such as marketing, physiotherapy, youth coordinator and football development were present.
Our first kit donation landed earlier this year. One of the teams benefitting from this was the Ken Ogelo Foundation, where both their teams got fully kitted out. Recently we sent Wasamo Girls Secondary in Mfangano Island, Lake Victoria, a set of kits for their football team.
We are grateful to Surrey FA for being a part of this initiative and helping us achieve our goals in Kenya.
