Have you ever though about donating sport shoes once you have finished with them and ready for a new pair?
Shoes play such an important role in everyone’s lives, can you imagine not owning a pair? Well unfortunately many people around the world are unable to afford sports shoes.
This is why Well Heeled Podiatry initially became a shoe collector for the not for profit charity Shoes for Planet Earth. This organisation was created in 2009 by people who loved to run and wanted to give something back. Unfortunately they have now closed but Well Heeled Podiatry continues to work with the local businesses, such as Sacred Heart Mission to continue the good work.
What is Involved in Donating Sport Shoes
If you are wanting to donate your second hand sport shoes please ensure they are clean and in good condition, with no holes and quality tread. If the laces can please be tied together this will help the organisation and us keep pairs of shoes together in our collection. Sport shoes can be dropped off at our reception desk daily.
Being community minded we are pleased to work with local businesses, helping those in need to improve their foot heath.
Many people have nothing to keep their feet warm and clean. We can all do our little bit to help those less fortunate than ourselves by donating our second hand runners.
If you have any further questions or would like to get involved please contact our clinic for further directions.
