QUK Backs Campaign to Save Grassroots Sports

The Quidditch Post and QuidditchUK are proud to team up to promote the Get Your Kit On campaign. On 25 November George Osborne will debate whether to inflict a 40 percent budget cut on grassroots funding within the UK Department of Culture, Media, and Sport – a cut that will directly impact the development of quidditch within the UK.

This is why we are joining the Sport and Recreation Alliance and sports organisations across the country, to encourage as many people as possible to #GetYourKitOn and tell George Osborne how much they value grassroots sport before the spending review. As part of the campaign, supporters are being asked to visit www.GetYourKitOn.team and post a message directly to the Chancellor.

Visitors to www.GetYourKitOn.team can also upload their image to a social wall of support via a dedicated Facebook page. Supporters can spread the word and share photos directly to the campaign website by sharing photos of them in their sports kit with the hashtag #GetYourKitOn. The Quidditch Post and QuidditchUK fully support this initiative and we invite teams to tweet their kits at both organizations (@Quidditchpost, @QuidPost_UK, @QuidditchUK) with the hashtag #GetYourKitOn. The Quidditch Post will also use this hashtag for the remainder of its Best Uniform Contest. Let’s protect our funding for future generations and ensure the longevity of quidditch within the UK.

In support of @QuidditchUK and @sportrectweets
