Kurt Geiger are really proud to have launched a new partnership with the charity Newlife.
This partnership offers customers the chance to recycle their old or unwanted shoes in their free-standing stores for a really fantastic cause.
Kurt Geiger will accept any shoes, from any brand, in any condition to donate to a great cause. Any shoes that NewLife are unable to sell will be fully recycled, with the materials going on to be used for socially responsible projects.
Newlife were established in 1991 by Sheila Brown OBE and Leonard Lewis – who are both parents of children with disabilities. They work across the UK to directly improve the lives of disabled children & their families.
