Not-for-profit enterprise Play It On strives to address the inequality experienced by young South Australians from low socio-economic backgrounds particularly with regard to accessing organised sport activities.
They give assistance to children in need by subsidising their sporting club fees. In order to fund their activities, Play It On mainly generates funds through the sale of donated second-hand sports equipment, clothing and footwear. They sell sporting gear at Gilles Plains clubhouse and via their online shop.
