When we live in times where children attend school in footwear which would leave most of us with a feeling of horror, Shoe Aid is STEPPING UP. Shoe Aid is working with manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, schools, and organisations to provide a solution that recycles and repurposes footwear, making a difference and changing lives. However, we can still do more. If you or your company, school, college, university, or community enterprise would like to STEP UP for Shoe Aid, why not get in touch, organise a collection, or donate your surplus or returned stock? In addition to bringing cheer, comfort, and warmth by providing footwear, Shoe Aid is helping to minimise the environmental impact by reducing the amount of footwear waste sent to landfills.
The pictures below are real shoes worn by real young people attending school somewhere in the UK, for reasons they probably have very little control over.
Make a DIFFERENCE, change a LIFE and STEP UP for Shoe Aid TODAY.
To continue supporting those in need and covering the costs of distributing footwear, we have set up a PayPal account to accept donations, which will support Shoe Aid and contribute to the fight against footwear poverty, while also having a positive impact on waste and the environment. Recycling and Repurposing footwear saves landfills and the environment.
To donate items of footwear to Shoe Aid, we are working with a number of businesses to provide donation boxes where you can take your old items of footwear.
If you wish to donate a large amount of footwear please contact Shoe Aid directly info@shoeaid.co.uk
If there isn’t a location near you – you could always post your donated items of footwear to Shoe Aid directly. Click here to download a Shoe Aid Label
We ask where possible that all items of footwear donated are :-
‘Fit for Purpose’ – not overly damaged. Footwear that doesn’t have holes in or cause injury, basically, can be worn again. Shoe Aid accepts all footwear items, men’s, women’s and children’s. Football Boots/Trainers, Wellingtons, Outdoor Shoes/Boots, Boots, All Sports Shoes, and Safety footwear.
Items of footwear we can’t re-use if items are torn or worn out we cannot find them a suitable home
Footwear we can use and donate to those in our society who cannot afford everyday footwear items
We don’t need original boxes – Just the item of footwear is sufficient
We also have collection/donation shoe boxes located within retail stores throughout the UK, Leicestershire, Huddersfield, Manchester, Lincoln, Liverpool, Milton Keynes, Guildford, Southampton, Salisbury, Cardiff, Bristol, Cirencester, Brighton, Lutterworth, Solihull, Leeds, Grimsby and Nottingham (this continues to grow) that are partners, sponsors, supporters or donators to Shoe Aid.
