Cricket Gear Reuse
Cricket Gear Reuse (CGR) is a project that aims to catalyse and support the acceleration of cricket gear and clothing reuse projects and behaviours.
Pilots & stakeholders
During 2024, cricket gear and clothing reuse pilot projects will be organised in Surrey involving multiple stakeholders. This builds on experience of Yorkshire Cricket Foundation’s Cric-Kit programme, Gloucester County Cricket Club’s Kit Drop and Swap and Farnham Repair Café.
