ReSport Charitable Trust welcomes donations from anywhere. Whether it's new or gently used sports gear, retired sports uniforms, sports memorabilia, or financial contributions, your support empowers Northlanders to play, thrive, and grow.
ReSport gives every piece of sports gear a purpose. New or gently used items go straight to schools, sports clubs, organisations, groups, and communities in need. When they’re beyond repair, we recycle them responsibly.
Through our partnership with CEBEC, retired sports uniforms become insulation and bedding, while end-of-life gear becomes low-emission fuel and cement at Golden Bay Cement. Together, we’re closing the loop turning waste into warmth and energy, not landfill.

Every effort, big or small, contributes to breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for all Northlanders to engage in sports and recreation. No gear to donate? You can still make a difference! Host a fundraiser, volunteer your time, or organise a community sports gear drive. Every contribution helps us empower Northlanders to play, thrive, and connect.
As we near the end of our first year, we would like to acknowledge everyone who has helped us to get where we are, achieving our mission to increase greater participation in sport, recreation and play for Northlanders experiencing barriers.
We recently hosted our first Breakfast of Champions to say thank you, to give a summary of our first year, and to brainstorm ideas of how best we can collaborate to serve our community, care for our environment and have fun in the process!
We can't wait to announce the inter-champ competition in time for our first birthday celebration!
Get ready to clear out your garages, and cupboards folks!
ReSport Charitable Trust is successfully redistributing preloved sports gear to Northlanders in need, while reducing the impact of textile and sport gear waste in landfill.
