#445 School Shoes

Request: Donations / School Shoes

Can you help us buy a pair of school shoes for a child who needs them?

We run a school shoe appeal every July – and in the past two years you’ve helped us provide shoes for almost 1000 children! These are children who would otherwise be going to school in shoes that leak, or shoes that are too small and hurt their feet

Providing a pair of shoes doesn't just ease a financial burden, it also boosts a child's self-esteem and wellbeing. It makes such a big difference for a child to have everything they need for school.

This picture shows the state of some of the school shoes we'll be replacing. The shoes will be distributed to the children who need them by a charity we are working with called Sal’s Shoes.

There are 3 ways you can help, see below….

What We Need

1. Make a donation: 100% of what you give will be used to buy school shoes. With a deal Sal's Shoes has secured with a supplier, we can buy a pair of £30 shoes for just £9! You can donate online or by text using the details below.

2. Buy a pair of school shoes from our Amazon wishlist: We've set up an Amazon list filled with school shoes - click the link below and then choose the shoes you'd like to buy. They will be sent directly to our charity partner Sal's Shoes to give to a child who needs them (just tick 'this is a gift' and 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.
