Donate your pre-loved sports gear

Kudos to Cadbury in New Zealand for re-inventing Britain’s 2003 purple locker scheme which collects pre-loved sports gear and redistributes it to needy young people. All you have to do is drop your pre-loved gear into the nearest purple locker to be re-homed. Or you can donate by post using the virtual locker and free pre-paid courier label available via the Cadbury website.

Purple kit boxes across the Top of the South may be found at: F45 Nelson, 101 Bridge Street, Nelson, F45 Richmond, 15 Sundial Square, Richmond, F45 Training Motueka, 201 High Street, Motueka, Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000, Kinross Street, Blenheim

Disabled Nelson sailors take on Wellington

Well done to the four young disabled Nelson sailors who competed in the 2020 National Hansa Regatta in Wellington from 21 to 23 February. Accompanied by parents and with Sailability Nelson Trust support, the sailors exceeded the trust’s goals, says chairman John MacDuff. Sailability Nelson is a charitable trust set up five years ago to enable disabled Nelsonians to experience sailing. From October to April it sails from the Nelson Yacht Club every second Sunday, weather permitting. Visit the website www.sailabilitynelson.org.nz
