The Kit Hub

The Kit Hub aims to give sportswear a new home and help the environment at the same time!

Donations give others the opportunity to have appropriate clothing to feel good, get active and save money, while saving items from landfill and reducing the impact of fast fashion.

You can visit The Kit Hub to donate, take, or swap items of clothing for free. There are items for children, young people and adults – all suitable for physical activity.

The Kit Hub motto is: “Take what you need or leave what you can”.

Where is The Kit Hub?

You can visit The Kit Hub every Thursday, 10am-12pm at the Cedarwood Trust (NE29 7QT).

There is sometimes a pop-up Kit Hub at some Active North Tyneside programmes/sessions.
