In addition to their work around sneaker aftercare thus championing sustainability, social value and a sense of giving back to the community is 1 of the pillars in which the wider Nusole organisation is built upon.
The guys found that through interactions with customers, friends and family as appose to being given away unwanted footwear were typically thrown away! With the cold winter days approaching Nusole launched the ‘Sole Save’ give back drive, which set out to collect as many unwanted footwear as possible over a 2-month period kindly donated. With a tremendous response by individuals wanting to chip in and contribute to the cause, an amazing 135 pairs donated. The variety of footwear handed in ranged from boots to trainers, in sizes as small as UK3 right up to UK14.
Once collected, the pairs were individually cleaned and restored to bring them back to life. To ensure all the pre loved trainers given to those most in need, Nusole partnered with local homeless charity Barnabus. With their main support centre located in the heart of the city the charity work tirelessly to bring hope to the homeless and vulnerable. From providing meals and support with housing, their staff also to are doing an amazing job to bringing about change.
Speaking on the initiative communications officer said: ‘We are so thankful to Nusole for providing us with a windfall of footwear to be handed out to people as and when they need them, which will be some impactful’.
On the main day of the drive trainers were taken away in bags with a complimentary socks pair of socks, provided by Nusole to future support during the cold weathers.
