Herne Bay FC’s involvement in the Pass the Boots programme is officially underway, with the club’s collection bin now delivered and ready for use. The arrival marks the start of a community effort to make football more accessible while promoting sustainability across the Bay.

The initiative invites players, families and supporters to donate pre‑loved football boots, giving them a second life with someone who needs them. Each pair collected helps remove barriers to participation, reduces waste and prevents good-quality boots from ending up in landfill.

Participants have also received social media graphics and promotional posters to help spread the word and encourage early donations. The club hopes the community will rally behind the scheme, building a movement that supports both football participation and environmentally responsible habits.

Herne Bay FC is encouraging supporters to share photos of the bin in place, stories from donors and recipients, and examples of the impact being made locally. These updates will help celebrate the programme’s progress and highlight the difference being achieved through collective action.

The club thanks everyone involved for their commitment to creating positive social and environmental change through football and welcomes anyone who needs further information to get in touch.
