Everyone communicates, not everyone connects I am an inventive project leader in the field of social innovations. 

I like to be at the heart of society and work effectively together on current themes. 

I am a typical starter and stimulator and always know how to create the right atmosphere with humor and fun.

I see possibilities in every situation and know exactly what I want and how to achieve it. I am seen as someone who does not hesitate to call things as they are in order to introduce innovation.

“Sports is so much more than that hour of exercise at the club. It is participating in society, belonging, feeling fit and cheerful and of course staying in good physical condition. This can be done at an association, but this can also be done in the neighborhood, on the square. 

Then you do need sports equipment. And that is precisely where the challenge lies for many more people than we think. And the lack of sports equipment should not be an obstacle to exercising and therefore participating in society in this way, right? Exercise and participation should be possible for everyone “We are the Sportspullenbank Nederland” and we remove an obstacle by collecting and distributing sports equipment to those who cannot purchase it themselves. 

The Sportspullenbank Nederland collects second-hand sports clothing and materials and makes them available through social organizations to people who do not have enough money to buy things themselves. By reusing existing and available items in this way, we also contribute to a sustainable economy.

The Sportspullenbank Nederland is currently only located in Rotterdam. 

This is where our warehouse is, most of the collection bins are located here in the region and this is where we do most of our distribution. 

There are pilots to place collection bins and arrange distribution in other municipalities in the region, in order to make sports accessible to everyone in these areas. We are also in discussions with other cities about opening Sportspullenbank branches there. 

This way we continue to grow steadily!   We are always looking for collaborative organizations and partners. 

What can we do for each other or how can you contribute? Donors and collaborative organizations: 

Support the Sportspullenbank with a donation in the form of expertise, services or resources. Sports clubs: 

Donate to or collect sports equipment for the Sports Equipment Bank and/or donate them with us to athletes who need it.

Partners (social service providers): Do you organize sporting events in the neighborhood and are participants 

not able to purchase sporting equipment themselves? Then contact the Sportspullenbank for support.

Local initiatives: Work with us to set up local branches of the Sportspullenbank. 

We are happy to make our knowledge and expertise available and provide support when setting up where possible.
