Fair Game takes your sports equipment to some of the most remote and under-serviced communities in Australia where it helps remove barriers to participation in sport and fitness activities and supports a healthy lifestyle. The Fair Game Recycle and Donate program distributes over 6000 items a year having a positive social and environmental impact. For more information visit https://www.fairgame.org.au/donate-equipment/
