Taking steps to end shoe poverty. But we need your help.
Active Life Podiatry are proudly partnering with Shoe Aid for a third year to help end shoe poverty globally.
Shoe Aid is a UK based charity that sources and supplies free footwear through a collection and distribution network, so no child or adult has to go without shoes.
With your help, we delivered hundreds of pairs of shoes to people in need. For the third year, we’re collecting shoes until 30th November 2025.
How you can help
You can help to make a difference and change lives by donating your old shoes and giving them a second life to someone in need.
Simply donate your shoes to Active Life Podiatry’s drop off point at 1 Parsons Green Lane and we’ll send them to Shoe Aid for you. Or, make a donation directly.
Did you know?
- 1.5 billion people worldwide without shoes, including 300 million children.
- 2 million shoes are thrown into landfill every week.
- 1 pair of shoes takes upwards of 1000 years to biodegrade.
Shoe Aid is tackling the problem, by educating on the importance of recycling and repurposing footwear.
They distribute tens of thousands of pairs of shoes to over 15 countries. Simply donate shoes you no longer wear to our Parsons Green Clinic, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Together, we can get steps to end shoe poverty globally.
