So often when we stop playing sports, our sporting equipment is left in the shed, or deep in our closets for months, even years. So why not donate your preloved sporting equipment to someone who can use and love it, just as much as you once did! Fair Game Australia is here for exactly this.
If you, a friend or a family member have participated in individual or team sports, then we need you! Fair Game Charity is providing unique health and fitness programs with your recycled equipment to help build activities in under-serviced communities and encourage children to live healthy lifestyles. Offering a “recycle and donate” program, Fair Game Australia are giving you the opportunity to give your used equipment a second shot!
Fair Game’s Recycle & Donate program collects pre-loved sports equipment and distributes it in response to specific requests from communities, not for profits and community led clubs, to remove barriers to participation in sport and fitness activities.
Items should be clean and in good useable condition.
From Humble Beginnings
Dr John Van Bockxmeer founded Fair Game charity in 2010 whilst interning at an outback Australian hospital. Since its inception, Fair Game Australia has grown to distribute over 40,000 recycled items to lower socioeconomic communities – having a wonderful impact on our community.
Why get involved?

For most of us, sports is a privilege we forget we have.63% of people living in the lowest socioeconomic areas don’t have adequate daily physical activity – this can be mentally and physically harming!
