Norwich City Fans called to donate their unused football boots to support their community
The Norwich City Community Sports Foundation is calling Norwich City fans to rally behind a new club-wide appeal, Boots for Change, that gives unused football boots a powerful new purpose.
Spearheaded by first-team players Emi Marcondes, Mathias Kvistgaarden and Ellie Bishop, the appeal invites fans, families, Academy players, staff and supporter groups across the club to donate good-quality football boots at various collection points from now until the end of the season, including here in The Store at The Nest!
Because for many young people across Norfolk, especially during a time when the cost of living makes kit harder to afford, a pair of boots is more than equipment – it’s a chance to join in, feel included and play the game they love.
Donate your boots today
Donate your boots. Change someone’s future.
Donated boots will be given a new lease of life through the Foundation’s recycling initiative at The Store. Helping to make football more accessible for everyone, proceeds from recycled boots will go directly towards supporting the Foundation’s vital programmes with vulnerable, disabled and disadvantaged people across Norfolk.
In addition to recycling, a portion of the donated boots will be distributed to participants in the Foundation’s disability and inclusion programmes, helping access essential kit that might be out of reach and supporting their continued development.

- Donate their boots at The Store – please ensure they are cleaned before donating
