Donate your old rugby kit this Christmas
Published 08 December 2011
Youngsters lucky enough to be given new rugby kit this
Christmas are asked to donate any old unwanted kit to
underprivileged children from across the world.
The LV=SOS Kit Aid
project has been supported by the WRU for the last four years,
resulting in £2m worth of recycled kit being sent to children
across the UK and to 19 countries in Africa and Eastern Europe.
A mountain of kit was collected earlier this
month from the Millennium Stadium by rugby legend Graham Price, who
is the ambassador for LV=SOS Kit Aid in Wales, and further kit
donations are always welcomed.
The former Pontypool, Wales and Lions front
rower said: “This is a wonderful project and I’m proud and honoured
to support the chance to spread rugby to youngsters from emerging
nations so that they too can have an opportunity to take part in
our great game.”
Matt Silva, the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s
rugby development officer, is also supporting Kit Aid and said: “If
you receive some shiny new kit in your Christmas stocking this year
then Kit Aid would be extremely grateful to be given any old rugby
kit that you have outgrown.”
