Increase demand for second-hand shoes due to rising poverty

Sal Shoes, a charity started by Mum CJ, has grown significantly over five years, processing donations from across the UK. Initially sending shoes to 43 countries, the charity now focuses on UK needs due to rising poverty. An initiative allows UK children to donate outgrown school shoes, supporting vulnerable families. Schools like Roy James' in Wales benefit, providing shoes to children in need. Sal Shoes struggles with demand as UK poverty rises, forcing families to choose between essentials. While many shoes still go abroad, more are staying in the UK to help local families.
