footprint

Footprint - is a community-led project from Community Links that helps families take confident next steps — in shoes that don’t cost the earth.

Every year, thousands of pairs of children’s shoes are thrown away while many families struggle with the rising cost of the school day. Footprint tackles both issues head-on by collecting good-quality shoes that still have plenty of life left and redistributing them free of charge to local families.

It’s a simple idea with a big impact — easing financial pressure, reducing waste, and showing how small, local actions can make a real difference for people and the planet.
