QPR supporters donate old football shirts to charity
Jamie Mackie opened the swap, and KitAid said the 150 donated shirts will be sorted in Hemel Hempstead for distribution to 55 countries.
- On 5 September, QPR supporters donated 150 football shirts to KitAid outside Loftus Road during a matchday swap, with QPR legend Jamie Mackie opening the event.
- The initiative occurred during a blackout fixture on South Africa Road, where sponsor MrQ Casino removed branding to let the football take centre stage, said Adam Ryan, chief commercial and marketing officer at MrQ Casino.
- Two oversized 'love' and 'hate' bins decided the fate of each shirt, drawing debate from the queue as fans slam-dunked items into one or the other.
- Volunteers in Hemel Hempstead will sort the collected shirts before sending them to projects across Africa, Asia, South America and Eastern Europe, as KitAid has distributed more than 1.25 million items to 55 countries.
- With nearly thirty years of experience, Derrick's team ensures every donation means something to somebody, building on the club and sponsor's grassroots contribution to the organization's long-standing charitable mission.
