Why donate
Benefits of Donating Your Shoes & Trainers
Supporting charities
When you book a collection, you’re not just decluttering – you’re supporting a charity of your choice. Your old shoes, trainers, heels and boots help raise vital funds for our partner charities.
Environmental impact
Re-homing your shoes keeps them out of landfill and gives them a second life, reducing waste and demand for new products. Our drivers only visit booked addresses, so there’s no wasted time or fuel.
Helping those in need
Shoes you no longer wear can make a world of difference to someone who needs them. Clear out your home and help support one of our wonderful charities.
Join the growing number of people choosing to re-home their old shoes, heels, boots, wellies and trainers – for adults and children – instead of throwing them away. Together we can reduce waste, support charities and help those in need, one pair at a time.

What Our Customers Say
★★★★★
Great service. Driver was kind and helpful in his collection of my very heavy bags. I love this service the Anglo Doorstep Collections provide. They have wonderful charities that they support. I’m a very happy customer. Thank you!
★★★★★
Absolutely fantastic collection, driver was super friendly yet professional. Took a large collection, clothes, shoes. Look forward to giving our next donation to you. I chose together for short lives as the charity option, but they have several to choose from.
★★★★★
He picked up from my home within the timeframe allocated. I could track the driver from my phone to see how far he was from me. All my items were packed and ready to be collected. Very good service and for a good cause.
