We are collecting old sports shoes and footy boots that are in good condition (no holes and intact soles) at Active Melbourne centres to donate to kids from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Many children 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 and footy boots during the week of Monday 13 April to Sunday 26 April 2026.
Please note that the biggest size we will accept is EU40
