Football Boot Exchange

A SPORTS SHOE EXCHANGE

The club is keen to extend it’s work within the community through it’s Kids Initiative setup in 2018. The object of the scheme is to involve all local children in the fun of football, especially those facing physical, emotional or financial hardship. The club is working with local schools and children’s charities to provide free coaching, equipment and clothing for the kids most in need.

What is apparent is that a lot of children are unable to take part in school sporting activities because they don’t have the appropriate footwear and equipment. In a bid to alleviate this problem the club, together with Poole Town Wessex, is delighted to launch The Boot Room. This will operate as a sports shoe exchange whereby we will collect and redistribute, through schools and charities, football boots and trainers.

Our aim is to help children who are beneficiaries of the Pupil Premium (PP) scheme but appreciate that schools know the children they have who are most in need and will be guided accordingly to help those not necessarily part of the PP scheme.

We are looking for support from local businesses in the day to day running of The Boot Room through sponsorship. Please contact Richard Gale, PooleTown’s Vice Chairman, if you feel that you would like to discuss your possible participation in the scheme.
