Introduction

Vitality Health and Life Insurance has a new program. It is called Give2Move. This program gives old sports shoes to people who need them.

Main Body

Many people in the UK have too many sports shoes. There are 114 million pairs of shoes in homes. But some people are poor. They cannot buy shoes, so they cannot exercise. Some people keep old shoes because they think they will use them later. Other people do not know where to give their shoes. However, 80% of people want to give their shoes to help others. Vitality works with Shoe Aid and JogOn. They want to collect one million pairs of shoes in five years. This helps poor people stay healthy and active.

Conclusion

The Give2Move program is open now. You can take your old shoes to Vitality Partners.
