Love From Above to collect names for school shoe initiative in South Hills
Eligible families must register at South Hills Recreation Centre on October 31, with school shoe distribution scheduled for January 9, 2027.
The non-profit organisation Love From Above has announced its upcoming School Shoe Collection initiative under the theme ‘Providing a Hope and a Future’.
According to the organisation, the project aims to ensure that vulnerable learners start the new school year with dignity by providing them with school shoes.
Important information for beneficiaries is that the organisation will be collecting names on October 31 for school shoe distribution on January 9, 2027. The venue for the collection is the South Hills Recreation Centre.
To qualify, parents and guardians must meet four specific requirements:
Proof of address must be provided (applicants must reside within 5km of the recreation centre)
A birth certificate or ID of the learner must be presented
The child must be present on the day of name collection.
Organisers emphasised two key dates for the community to note:
October 31: name collection
January 9, 2027: school shoe distribution.
Community members are urged to come prepared with all required documents on October 31 to ensure a smooth registration process.
The initiative is expected to benefit many families who struggle to afford new school shoes for their children at the start of the academic year.
