Get Involved

Footwear Friends depends entirely on voluntary support. We rely on the generosity of people who make, or have made, their livelihoods in any aspect of the shoe trade.

The pressure on Footwear Friends to meet increased demand – both in numbers seeking support and the overall monies award continues to increase. By making a donation, leaving a legacy through your will, or simply participating in the special trade events held in support of Footwear Friends, you can make a much-needed contribution.
