Help us give your pre-loved ski gear a new lease of life!
We’re passionate about sustainability, which is why we’re so delighted to be supporting Disability Snowsport UK’s Gear for Good campaign.
The charity provides adaptive ski and snowboard lessons, activities and holidays, helping people enjoy snowsports regardless of their disability. One of the ways they do this is by re-selling donated, pre-loved ski gear! Your old ski kit can get a second life through the Gear for Good sale in London this December. By donating, you'll support the charity’s fantastic work making snowsports more accessible and inclusive. Reduce waste while helping more people experience the joy of skiing and snowboarding.
Our Portsmouth office is now an official drop-off hub!
Please donate your kit (for the December sale) during our usual office opening hours and by 20 November 2026. Items should be clean, in good condition and ready for a new home (see guidelines below).
What can you donate?
They are happy to accept good-quality, pre-loved ski clothing, boots and equipment, but there are a few things they can’t take (for safety and quality reasons), including:
❌Used helmets
❌Old-style skinny downhill skis (cross-country skis are accepted)
❌Items that are dirty, ripped, or have holes
❌Boots or clothing with strong odours
❌Boots with heavily worn toes, heels, or base plates
❌Skis with loose bindings or cracked edges
Remember, every donation of pre-loved kit helps give quality ski gear a second life while supporting a great cause. So, thank you for helping us make a difference.
