About KitAid
KitAid was founded in 1998 by Derrick Williams MBE after a trip to Tanzania highlighted the need for football kit and equipment. Following positive feedback from the first donation, the charity was established to redistribute kit to communities worldwide.
Entirely volunteer-run, KitAid receives no grants and is supported across the football pyramid, from grassroots clubs to the professional game
