We are collecting old sports shoes and footy boots that are in good condition (no holes and intact soles) to donate to disadvantaged communities, in partnership with Reclink.
Many children and adults from disadvantaged backgrounds cannot afford the correct footwear to participate in sport or recreational activities. So, we’re giving them a helping hand! Our Shoes for All campaign will help improve their physical and mental well-being by giving them the opportunity to have the correct footwear to facilitate participation.
Donate your sports shoes & footy boots during the week of Wednesday 10 April to Wednesday 17 April 2024.
The following sites will accept your shoes if they are in good condition:
Carlton Baths - 248 Rathdowne St, Carlton VIC 3053
North Melbourne Community Centre - 49-53 Buncle Street, North Melbourne VIC 3051
North Melbourne Recreation Centre - 204-206 Arden St, North Melbourne VIC 3051
