Reclink is calling on those in the west to donate their previously loved sporting equipment to ensure kids won’t go without this Christmas.
Reclink founder Peter Cullen said that sports equipment gets wasted like food and it’s a shame in these times when families are doing it tough.
“One of the big challenges in the world is wasted resources,“ he said.
The federal government’s passing of a law to restrict minors under the age of 16 from accessing social media might be a good time for kids to get back outdoors, according to Mr Cullen.
“Some of the biggest things that can enhance a childhood is a bike, ball and a bat.”
Of particular use to refugee children and new members of the community, bicycles are something that Reclink is calling on the community to generously give.
“We had over 300 bikes give out to refugees last year and we desperately need more,” Mr Cullen said.
Reclink is also in need of volunteers to help pick up their equipment and deliver it to those who need it.
Those looking to donate their time or sporting equipment can drop by 2/9 Gerves Drive, Werribee, between 9am-1pm on Monday-Friday.
