#539 School Shoes

Request: Donations / Shoes / Kind Messages

No child should start the school year in shoes that don't fit. Thanks to your kindness, we've provided more than 2,000 pairs of school shoes to children who needed them over the past few years. This year, we're hoping to help even more!

A pair of school shoes is about so much more than protecting little feet. It's about a child walking into school with confidence, fitting in with classmates, staying dry on rainy days, and just having one less thing to worry about.

That's why we're hoping to provide as many pairs as possible before the new school year begins. This year, we're partnering with Sal's Shoes again, who will make sure every pair you buy goes directly to a child who needs them.

There are three ways you can help...

What We Need

1. Make a donation: This is more cost effective than buying from the wishlist this week - with a deal Sal's Shoes has secured with a supplier, we can buy a pair of £30 shoes for around £10! You can donate online or by text using the details below. 100% of what you give will be used to buy school shoes.

2. Buy a pair of school shoes from our Amazon wishlist: We've set up an Amazon list filled with school shoes for those of you who would prefer to help in this way - just click the link below and then choose the shoes you'd like to buy. They will be sent directly to Sal's Shoes to give to a child who needs them (just choose the 'gift registry address' at checkout).

3. Donate good quality second-hand school shoes: Lots of children’s school shoes are outgrown before they are outworn, so we’d love to make use of them! You can send your second-hand school shoes to: Sal's Shoes (52 Lives project), Storage King, Enterprise Way, Edenbridge, TN8 6HF.(Please include a little note mentioning 52 Lives when you send them, as we are keeping a tally of how many shoes our community provides). Shoes should be clean and rubber-banded in pairs please.
