SSF and ApparelXchange (AXC), are joining forces again this summer to gather unwanted sportswear before it reaches landfill. 

For the past three years both organisations have been working together, utilising their strengths – SSF enabling young people to be active through sport and physical activity, and AXC, reusing clothing and reducing impacts on the environment. 

Why recycle sportwear? 

Clothing has become a disposable commodity and, in the UK alone, millions of pounds worth of clothing reaches the bin each year.  We want to prolong the life cycle of these clothes and make them available to people who may need them – to remove any barriers to taking part in sport and physical activity. 

What clothes are we looking for? 

Sports tops, hoodies, light jackets, shorts, joggers, trainers and boots. 

How can you donate your unwanted active wear? 

You can donate by dropping off clothes at: 

SSF Office, Suite 3/4 Brook Street Studios, 3rd Floor 60 Brook Street, Glasgow G40 2AB, Mon – Thur, 9am – 4pm 

ApparelXchange, 65 Nithsdale Street, Glasgow, G41 2PZ, Wed-Sun, 11am – 4pm 

ApparelXchange, 51 Cadogan Street 1 Cadogan Square, G2 7HF, Tue – Fri, 10am-4pm
