A League of Their Own props donated to charities

Props and clothing from the award-winning TV show A League of Their Own have found a new home with animal and homelessness charities.

The sport-based panel show, which starred James Corden, Freddie Flintoff and Romesh Ranganathan among others, ended in 2025 after 15 years on Sky TV.

Following its conclusion, Sky said items including clothing and set materials would be donated to charities across the UK, including two in Oxfordshire.

The Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary in Stadhampton and The Porch Oxford, a homeless day centre in Oxford, are among 38 charities to have benefitted from donations.

The Porch received a donation of clothing and footwear that had originally been bought for use on the show.

The donation included hard wearing footwear, clean socks and winter clothing.

The Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary rehomes dogs, cats and rabbits, and has used the TV set materials and props to create new dog training spaces.

It is hoped these will help the rescue animals it houses to prepare for life in a new home.

Among the features repurposed are astro turf and grass humps which have been used to create a new exercise area.

Inside, lino flooring has been used to create a new space where dogs can be gently introduced to household sounds such as doorbells and footsteps.

Fiona Ball, Sky's sustainability chief, said it was fitting that some of the show's "most memorable" props were now "bringing joy in completely different ways".

"Seeing items that once lit up the studio go on to support local communities, charities and even a dogs' rescue centre is a brilliant example of how the legacy of a show doesn't have to end when the final episode airs," she added.

In total, more than 5,600 items from the quiz show - mostly from the creative and challenges the show became best-known for, have been donated to organisations across the country.
