Beyond The Kit
Projects we’re developing (subject to funding)
SeakAid’s core work is making sport and physical activity accessible through the collection and redistribution of pre-loved sports kit and equipment.
Beyond the Kit is a separate, funding-dependent programme strand — designed to remove wider barriers and create opportunity for young people.
