Hi there.
I volunteer with the Leeds City Council Duke of Edinburgh Award and am trying to set up a boot bank.
Very basically, we have stores of tents, waterproofs, trangiers, etc. that we can lend the youngsters but no boots. The stuff they turn up in often causes them problems
So if you have any half decent walking boots that have a few miles left in them that you are willing to donate then please get in touch. Even if you are not near Leeds we may be able to arrange a pick up from someone local to you.
Take a look here for a bit more information and contact details
