What is Pass the Bat On

We are proud to be working with the Club Cricket Charity – which has a 10-year track record of helping to further the recreational game – to collect 500 used cricket bats from across the cricketing community and refurbish, rebrand them and sell them at low cost.

This scheme is part of a number of projects to support the Gandon Prodger Legacy Fund, a new charitable fund set up to honour the work of the two individuals in furthering the game of cricket – Simon Prodger (who passed away in 2023) and Nick Gandon (who passed away in 2025).

The project also addresses a number of key issues relating to cricket – Inclusivity & Participation, Cost & Affordability and Environment and Heritage.

All income will be donated to cricket and sports-related causes close to the hearts of Simon and Nick: the East Africa Character Development Trust, the Alsama Project and the Club Cricket Charity.

All bats have been quality checked by us, refurbished and rebranded, and many of our bats have been donated by those in the first class game.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to purchase a high-quality bat at low cost – whilst making a substantial difference through cricket, both here in the UK and abroad.

How to get Involved

We’re not only trying to help save the planet by reducing waste, prioritising British bat-making and giving a second life to used cricket-bats, but we’re really proud to be giving the proceeds to charity!

It’s a pilot scheme to collect, refurbish, and rehome 500 second-hand bats, donated by the cricketing community. These professionally restored bats will then be sold at a fraction of the price, making cricket more inclusive while reducing waste.

Proceeds from refurbished bat sales will support the Gandon Prodger Legacy Fund, continuing the work of two great men – Nick Gandon and Simon Prodger – who devoted their lives to grassroots cricket and ensuring it remains a game for everyone.
