Collecting your pre-loved and outgrown sports shoes
At One Impossible Thing we want to help everyone unlock their sporting potential by ensuring everyone has the right tools to achieve their goals. However the Good Childhood Report 2022 found that 27% of parents and carers cannot afford PE kit for their children.
At one school we worked with, the PE teacher said he had students who would rather take a detention for ‘forgetting’ their football boots, than admit that their family couldn’t afford a pair for them. Children end up with ill fitting and worn out shoes, which impacts on being able to perform to the best of their ability.
By supplying sports shoes for free to those that need them, we are helping people on their sporting journey to achieve their One Impossible Thing.
