At Banbury United, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy football, regardless of background or resources. That's why we're thrilled to help spread the word about a fantastic new initiative: the Howden Insurance Boot Exchange—a program dedicated to making football more affordable and accessible throughout Oxfordshire.

the Howden Insurance Boot Exchange allows players to visit participating Howden offices across the county to exchange their outgrown or old football boots for a new pair—completely free of charge! The goal is simple yet impactful: to make sure that cost is never a barrier to enjoying the game.

Where to Go for Boot Exchange The following Howden Insurance offices are ready to support those looking to swap boots:

7-9 High Street, Abingdon, OX14 5BB
9-10 Market Place, Banbury, OX16 5LG
47 Market Square, Bicester, OX26 6AJ
The Clock House, Burford Road, Carterton, OX18 3AA
4-8 Langdale Gate, Witney, OX28 6EY
If you have extra boots—either regular or astroturf—and would like to donate, please drop them off at any participating Howden office. Every donation supports the supply for those exchanging boots, allowing even more people to benefit from this initiative.

Howden Insurance and the Golden Boot Alongside the Boot Exchange, Howden Insurance is also sponsoring the Golden Boot competition this season. This award celebrates the top scorer across Oxfordshire FA’s County Cup competitions, recognizing players’ dedication and achievements on the field.
