The Prize

This auction is for a pair of Converse High Top trainers worn and autographed by the members of Foals.

Foals are an English indie rock band from Oxford, England formed in 2005, consisting of lead vocalist and lead guitarist Yannis Philippakis, drummer and percussionist Jack Bevan, rhythm guitarist Jimmy Smith, bassist Walter Gervers and keyboardist Edwin Congreave.

This is the first time they have donated to Small Steps Project.

They have generously donated a pair of cool white Converse high top sneakers, with white laces and spare black laces, signed by the band in black on the outer side of each shoe. Mens UK 10 or Womens UK 12.

Foals donated their shoes at Glastonbury, where they played an amazing set on the Pyramid stage on Friday night right before headliners and fellow Small Steps supporters Muse took to the stage....

Foals have personally donated these shoes in support of Small Steps Project.

The Cause

Small Steps Project is a children’s charity dealing with the most devastating humanitarian consequence of the global waste problem: child waste pickers.

All over the world thousands of children survive by collecting and recycling rubbish on landfill sites. Deprived of an education, they work when they should be at school and put their lives at risk on a daily basis. Work on the dumps is dirty and dangerous. As well as respiratory and skin diseases, cuts and lacerations to their hands and feet are commonplace and risk of infection is extremely high in the toxic environment.

Small Steps Project provides shoes to protect their feet and support to enable them to take small steps off the dump sites, out of poverty and into education.

To date, Small Steps Project has provided shoes and aid to over 20,000 children thanks to the money raised from shoes, all donated and signed by some of the most famous celebrities in the world.
