SAL'S NEWS slls"" ISSUE 9 2022-2023 SHOES Shoes are relatively difficult to recycle because of all the different components they're made up of.

One of the most brutal impacts of poverty can be the loss of dignity and the loss of personal choice. Children are experts on their own feelings and often have a strong sense of what style of clothing suits their personality. We currently operate eleven Sal's Shoes Shops across England. Six of these are operated in collaboration with The Guinness Partnership. Situated in community hubs, the families who are most in need are referred to our welcoming shops, where they can enjoy the experience of shopping and exercise choice withovt having to pay for the footwear that they need. r¥- SHOES Thanks to your continued support of our School Shoes Fund, we have been able to fulfil the requests we've received for new school shoes, PE trainers and wellies. With your help we have sent out over 30,000 pairs in the last year, more than double the number sent out in 2022. Alongside monetary donations, supporters can also purchase shoes from our Amazon wishlist. We're incredibly grateful for the donations of school shoes we've received from retailers this year.

Those shoes made their way to the feet of pupils at 3 rural schools in Ghana, West Africa. By 2017, over 650 U.K. schools had signed up to participate and over 175,000 pairs of school shoes were donated at the end of the academic year. Toe to Toe has continued to grow and we're delighted so many school across the country now collect their students, outgrown shoes throughout the school year.

SHOES .¥r BANK ONUS SOCIAL MEDIA The power of social media, when harnessed for good can be astounding. We simply couldn't do what we do, or have the impact we have without all of your support. Every post you share and every story you tell about vs, is helping to spread the word about our work- we wouldn't have the reach we do, and receive the donations we do, without you. Thank youl Earlier this year, influencer Mrs Hinch had a sort out of her son's shoes, sending them on to us and sharing her story with her 4.7 million followers. The 'Hinch Effect, took hold, our followers grew and our social media platforms were busier than ever. Shoes started flooding into HQ. A few months later we found new feet for their shoes in Ghona thanks to Ankoma Outreoch and were able to share this with Mrs Hinch and her followers. tJtJt4 RADIO LONDON MEDIA Some of our media coverage throughout the year.. ri IOVNlJl￿ fjf IAI l%IlOIS sw7￿GA￿v R05LINQPIIK 'I'hL' Guardian Iwthn Swi emllutt Lknty 1111 52aclSofklnthe￿. how io spreadjoylneveryweekof 2023 4&U￿Your(aTIoT￿d pWupthttbfor%Jl*ShI￿4lWhk￿WndS do￿t￿n5r(￿1￿hywt￿e(h1￿tY￿lIJtYlL)n1S. *dumptnrryThey nred lowridofiwhtrrf ucoubldropoff. FUNDRAISING We are always very grateful for the incredible people who fundraise to help support the work we do. Amongst our fundraisers this year we had the amazing Claudia, member of the Sol's Shoes team, who ran the London Marathon and raised over £4,300. Then there was Ben, who decided to walk to work a staggering 33.6 miles from home. It took Ben 12 hours and he raised almost £4,000 for our School Shoes Fund. We were grateful to an energetic reception class from The Lea School who ran over 450 laps of their school field, raising almost £250. Stepladder. FUNDING As a fairly small charity, often our only real limitation is financial.

All of the shoes that we receive are sorted and packed by volunteers before setting off to find their new owners. CORPORATE CHARITY DAYS Volunteering in teams can prove hugely motivating for you and your co-workers. You'll be working together for the day towords o common goal and often relaying on new skills outside of your usual day-to-day. The change in environment and type of work can allow undiscovered strengths and skills to shine through (and it's also lots of funl) We promise, shoe sorting is good for the soul. Maybe your company offers paid volunteering as part of their Corporate Sociol Responsibility policy (which many do)? Or perhaps you're part of a team that wants to help a good cause? We'd love to hear from youl We are based in Edenbridge, Kent. There is parking on site and direct rail links to London from our nearest station, a 5 minute walk away. We ask for a financial contribution of £500 per group, for up to 10 people, which helps support the work that we do.
