Football boots to charity

[craig1912]

Not sure where else to post this.

I have about 30 pairs of brand new, unused, in original packaging Puma football boots. These are all size 9 and are the very top range (retail at £150+ ish) from approx the last three years range.

Does anyone know or can suggest anywhere that would want them. I’m thinking of some charity (something like Soccer shirts to Africa) or some inner city football team. Anywhere who struggle to pay for this stuff.

Thanks for any ideas?

Most FA’s have a boot bank scheme.

Can't help but top marks for going about it this way.

Great idea, where are you based?

How does one end up with so many boots?

I’m in close contact with a school in Zimbabwe, sadly however the logistics of getting them there mean they’d be intercepted en route and never make it to the school.

Hampshire- my son was sponsored by them and always received too many pairs. Just counted them and there are 36 pairs.
