HOW IT WORKS
Kitback combines our love of football with social impact and environmental action, collecting donations of unwanted football shirts and keeping them in play for longer.
Rescued football shirts are upcycled and resold on Kitback’s online store, raising funds for the life-changing work of Street Soccer.
donated
- Kitback collects donations of unwanted football shirts from fans, players, football clubs, businesses and organisations.
- Donations can be made by post or at local donation points throughout the UK.
- All shirts and sizes in match ready condition from teams, leagues, and countries across the world of football are welcomed.
upcycled
- It's estimated that 100,000 tonnes of sportswear ends up in landfill each year, equating to 500 million football tops.
- Donated shirts are upcycled by a dedicated team of Street Soccer volunteers, laundering and repairing any imperfections.
- The upcycling programme is an innovative solution to reimagine shirts otherwise destined for landfill or incineration, changing lives and attitudes to textiles waste.
resold
- Pre-loved shirts are resold on Kitback’s online store or at pop up events, offering a wide range of options for football enthusiasts to choose from.
- Each purchase made gives fans a chance to own a piece of football history with all funds generated from sales going towards Street Soccer.
- Any shirts that cannot be resold will be made available to play in by the thousands of active Street Soccer players who attend sessions across London and Scotland that may otherwise be lacking in appropriate sportswear, removing barriers and making sure no shirt goes to waste.
