Find out more about what we do and why we do it.
ReSport exists to enable equitable access to sport, recreation and play, by reducing affordability barriers, empowering communities and reducing waste for a healthier, more inclusive society.
Collect new and gently used sports gear and equipment to share these resources to people in need throughout Northland, reducing the environmental impact of textile and sport gear waste.
Stakeholders donate equipment to ReSport Pātaka and Depot to sort and share within Northland communities through sports and community partnerships.
We empower people to be equipped to engage in sporting experiences, enhancing purpose, connection, health and wellbeing, while being environmentally responsible.
ReSport Charitable Trust is successfully redistributing preloved sports gear to Northlanders in need, while reducing the impact of textile and sport gear waste in landfill.

ReSport was founded by JP Dignon and Joey Yovich in 2021 on their way to support a local charity fundraising event held in the Bay of Islands.
Both JP and Joey are passionate Northlanders who come from humble beginnings. They are philanthropists, social entrepreneurs, and transformational leaders in their capacities.
For more than 17 years, this powerful sports-centric duo has given significant amounts of time, resources and heart to local communities and various charities across Northland.
Our five trustees JP Dignon, Joey Yovich, Jeremy Tauri, Craig Crawford, Anna Hewitt and our Project Lead Sharon Gibson, are all big believers in play and recreation. They know the value of contribution and that driving equitable outcomes across social, economic, and well-being platforms can only be a good thing for the benefit of Northlanders.
