The Oche Locker
Trusted Quality
Reoffered
Access for every aspiring player
Our mission starts with inclusion. We believe that no one should be held back from discovering the game of darts because of cost or limited access to equipment. That’s why we’re prioritising support for schools, youth clubs, community centres, and individuals who may not otherwise have the opportunity to step up to the oche. Whether it’s for fun, focus, or future potential, everyone deserves a chance to play.
Redistribution with purpose
To bring this vision to life, we’ve created a responsible redistribution program that gives great equipment a second chance to make a first impression. Quality gear doesn’t have to come straight off the shelf. Every item is performance-checked and held to the same high standards we play with ourselves. It’s not just about giving things away, it’s about opening access and equipping the next generation with reliable tools they can count on.
Giving gear a second flight
Every dart has potential, just like every player. Instead of letting near-perfect products go unused, we give them a second flight. From sets with bumped boxes to returns in excellent condition, these items still have so much to offer. By keeping great gear in play, we’re reducing waste and creating opportunities, one throw at a time.

Berwick Middle School
Berwick middle school have incorperated darts into their PE lessons however they were struggling to obtain enough equipment. Through the Oche Locker we were able to make sure their darts offering was substantial and gave oppourtunities to all students.
'Berwick Middle would like to thank all at Harrows Darts for the donation of equipment which has allowed us to increase our offer of darts in school. This will enable us to offer a larger extra curricular club whilst also adding it into the curriculum giving more pupils the opportunity to refine their Maths skills as well as give them a route into playing alternative sports.'

Winscombe Youth Club
“At Winscombe Youth Club we’ve always loved darts, but as a non-profit we couldn’t afford proper equipment. Thanks to Harrows and The Oche Locker, we now have a full setup to use every week. This has allowed us to run tournaments, lessons, and give our members the chance to develop their skills. We’re so grateful for the support and excited to continue building on this.”

Finley Wade
When Finley’s dad, Adam, got in touch with us after we launched the Oche Locker, he shared how much darts was helping his 8-year-old son. Finley, who is currently going through ADHD diagnosis, had recently discovered darts, and it quickly became an incredible educational tool, helping his maths skills flourish while giving him something he truly enjoys.
Unfortunately, Adam and his family weren’t in a position to get Finley the equipment he needed to continue this new hobby at home.
Through the Oche Locker, we were able to provide Finley with a Pro Matchplay Dartboard, Trilight, Surround, Oche Mat and a set of darts so he can keep playing, learning, and developing his passion for the game. We’re proud to help Finley continue his journey, using darts not just for fun, but as a powerful learning aid that helps his confidence and skills grow every day.

Spring Lodge Youth Academy
Spring Lodge Youth Academy reached out to us through the Oche Locker Scheme, as many of their students lacked access to tungsten darts, a key step in progressing their game.
Through the scheme, we were able to supply the academy with tungsten darts, flights, and stems. Michael, who helps run the academy, told us that after just one session, the children's grouping and confidence had already shown noticeable improvement.

Swindon Youth Darts Club
Through our Oche Locker Scheme, we recently supplied Swindon Youth Darts Club with Quadro boards, Trilights, and darts – helping over 50 children enjoy darts every week, completely free of charge.
The feedback was fantastic:
“The boards, lights and darts were an absolute hit. The kids loved the Quadro board – one even hit 342 with three Quad 20s!”
The Trilights replaced old spotlights, creating a shadow-free experience that even had parents stepping up to the oche. The darts are being distributed to children who can’t afford their own, ensuring everyone gets a chance to play.

Frequently Asked Questions
We prioritise schools, youth clubs, community organisations, and individuals who may not have the means to access quality darts equipment. If you're unsure whether you qualify, get in touch, we assess each request on a case-by-case basis.
We redistribute any of our high-quality items that may have been returned, have minor cosmetic damage, or come from surplus stock. Every product is tested or reviewed to ensure it meets our performance standards before it’s sent out.
Most of the equipment is new or near-new, for example, returns that were barely used or products with bumped packaging. We do not send out heavily used or worn items.
No, all qualifying donations are completely free. In some cases, we may ask for help covering shipping, but this is discussed in advance.
We believe that talent shouldn't be limited by access. By giving great gear a second life, we’re supporting the growth of the sport, reducing waste, and helping the next generation of players throw with confidence.
