Sponsors

Every pair of Supershoes is funded by donations from kind sponsors, who come in all shapes and sizes…..

From parents of previous recipients who want to ‘pay forward’ the gift of Supershoes, to fundarisers who have organised an event of some description in order to make a donation. We receive one-off payments from some and regular sponsorship from others. Some want to remain anonymous, whilst others are happy to share their donation and/or story.

Here are some of those we are able to share with you.

A Super Thank you to Kathy Boothman and her friends and family. Kathy’s daughter Grace’s nickname is Binky was diagnosed with T Cell lymphoblastic Lymphoma in April 2017. Her Supershoes brought so much joy on very dark days. Their donation was raised by holding a dance so that more Supershoes could be created for other children experiencing tough days, making their time brighter.

 Sponsor - Redway Networks

Redway Networks

We are delighted to have Redway Networks, a local Milton Keynes based IT & wireless specialist company, join us as a Super Sponsor, kindly donating a range of IT equipment to our office. Redway Networks made contact with us after seeing our social media appeal for IT equipment. Nick Gross, Director, had been aware of our charity as his daughter’s friend was diagnosed with Leukaemia and had received a gift of personalised Converse trainers from Supershoes. Therefore, when Nick saw that we were looking for IT equipment for our offices he immediately made contact and wanted to help. Our equipment was very out-dated and therefore processes were slow and taking our volunteers much longer than necessary. Redway Networks kindly donated 4 x brand new PC’s, 8 x 24” LCD monitors and a printer for our office. We are so pleased with the equipment and the twin screens have been a game changer, allowing us to use our time for Supershoes much more efficiently. Thank you to Redway Networks! Supershoes Founder, Sarah White said, “The very kind and generous donation of brand new equipment, that Redway have made, is truly wonderful and has already made a significant impact . Our team of volunteers were struggling with out of date PC’s that were slowing down the efforts to reach brave children with the gift of Supershoes. We simply can’t thank Redway enough.”

Lorna says, “Supershoes is such a great charity that gives a special gift to special young people. It’s wearing a piece of art that no one else has on your feet!” Thank you so much girls/ladies for all your hard work! You certainly all look as though you’re having fun!
