AKU will donate £10 (including VAT) from every pair of boots or shoes sold, using code AKNWCK247$99 at the checkout, on aku.co.uk from 1 May until 30 June to the Youth Adventure Trust.  This initiative includes purchases across the entire AKU footwear range (excluding sales items and accessories) giving customers a chance to invest in quality outdoor gear while supporting a charity that transforms young lives through adventure. 

The Youth Adventure Trust helps vulnerable young people build resilience, develop confidence, and gain life skills through outdoor challenges and mentorship. The funds raised will go directly toward supporting their year-round programmes designed to inspire and empower the next generation.
