Free Shoes from Twenty Two Kicks

Holy Trinity Church, York, North Yorkshire

Kicking off at Holy Trinity Goodramgate - free shoes for kids

Come to Holy Trinity, Goodramgate, York on Monday 19 August 2024 between 11am and 4pm and get ready to get back to school.

If you cannot make that date, there will be another pop up event on Tuesday August 20 at Spark: York, from 12pm - 5pm.

Old school shoes, trainers, football boots and even wellies are being given a new lease of life by a York business that wants to help families struggling to buy new footwear for their children. This year, school bags are on offer too.

Twenty Two Kicks, specialises in cleaning and restoring people’s favourite trainers to ‘box fresh’ condition. Once spruced up, they are passed on for free to families in need.

The project is now in its second year, following a successful launch last summer when 92 pairs of shoes from the 110 donated were able to be cleaned up and given away to youngsters who needed them. 

Any shoes that are left over from the events this year will be donated to Shoe Aid where they will be sent to those in need.
