Grassboots enables sports clubs and schools to easily establish their own online sports marketplace to sell preloved sportswear and equipment.
Rising running costs present clubs with many challenges and increases the demand for fundraising. Grassboots is more than a marketplace; it's a community-focused initiative that champions sustainability, re-use and inclusivity in sports. Here's how Grassboots can help:
Providing a digital platform, combining sustainability and sports, that facilitates the buying and selling of pre-loved sportswear and equipment.
Empowering clubs and schools to open online sport shops, turning unused sports goods into a revenue stream for them and making sport more affordable and accessible for their members.
Clubs and schools will receive 75% of the sale proceeds donated to them by their community. This money can be used to fund new facilities, keep fees low or gift to charity.
Minimal organisational effort other than to remind members that they have a marketplace on Grassboots.
Collection is arranged via the in-app messenger, so goods are passed between members at a conveniently arranged location, like the clubhouse, so no need for storage space at the club.
Studies suggest 1/3 families are deterred from participating in sports due to high costs of clothing and equipment.
We are determined to drive consumer behaviour towards more sustainable purchasing habits, urging the sports community to consider pre-loved items before buying new.
Here's how Grassboots can help:
Enables families to easily sell those sporting items they no longer need, promoting reuse within the community.
Through our in-app messenger, Grassboots makes it easy for local users to meetup to handover their item.
Helping remove financial barriers to sports participation, enabling wider community involvement regardless of socio-economic status.
That affordable and easily obtainable sports item could be what kick starts the journey of our nation's next sporting legend (well, possibly)!
