IMPORTANT UPDATE:

The way we run Grassboots is changing. In the next few weeks we will be winding down this website and directing people towards a new physical store based in Wallsend as part of the Tyneside Community Store. The physical store offers a much better platform for people to access Grassboots items, a place where more stock can be displayed, where people can try things on and a location that is open 6 days a week. We have already moved 80% of our stock to the Tyneside Community Store so if you get the chance why not pop down and take a look?

Items will still be available at a very low cost and many items are also free if you have been referred by a recognised partner or organisation.

You can find the Tyneside Community Store here:

73-75 High Street West
Wallsend
NE28 8JD

Opening hours:

  • Monday to Friday - 9:30am to 2:30pm

    Saturday - 9:30am to 11:30am

In the meantime, any orders placed on the website up until Friday 11th April will be honoured and delivered to their respective pick-up points as usual.

Thank you!

Grassboots is a project aimed to help people who are struggling financially to have access to grassroots sport and outdoor activities by providing low-cost new and pre-loved footwear and sports clothing to people in the North East of England.

How does it work?

Our website uses a click and collect system. Search and purchase the boots or items of your choice, choose a local pick-up point to collect them from and then pick up your order when it’s ready to be collected.

Currently we have Football Boots, Football Trainers and General Trainers available and have recently added a selection of School Shoes and Sports Clothing.

Please Note: This website is for people living within the Tyne and Wear region only and we cannot post or deliver items outside of this area. Items purchased are not to be re-sold under any circumstances and are only available to those who really need them.

We no longer provide any general children’s or adult clothing or any baby accessories
