Kit for All

Kit for All aims to reduce and remove any participation barriers for school children in sports and physical activity by providing them with sports kits.

The Kit for All project is a nationwide initiative, which has various representations from areas all over Scotland. The project’s overarching aim is to reduce and remove any participation barriers for school children in sport and physical activity by providing them with free sports kits.

To enable us to facilitate the kit provision, we require support from schools to encourage donations of sports clothing such as trainers/gym shoes, shorts/leggings/tracksuit bottoms and t-shirts/tops. Kit for All contributions should come washed and labelled with size and gender. Kit for All contributions should come washed and labelled with size and gender information, and the items must be good quality – we will not accept worn-out or old clothing items.

Referrals can be made through your local Aberdeen city schools, clubs, active school coordinators or school education partners. If you wish to make a referral, please get in touch with one of the above. A referral can be made on your behalf. Once referrals have been made, Active Schools will deliver the kits for parents or pupils to collect from their school.
