I had been holding on but have decided that I'd rather buy new shiny pretty kit as a well done for losing the weight (kit is so much nicer now than the old blue black grey offerings!) so my question is this. Do I just stick it in the clothes bank or a charity shop or is there a charity for used sports kit? TIA!

She uses them for when kids have forgotten to bring in kit. It did seem funny to see one of them running round in my Silverstone 10k t-shirt. I like Vrap's idea.
