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.

Sponsor - Talia

Talia

Talia found out about Supershoes, when her mum, Dee, became a Super Volunteer on the admin team. Talia wanted to raise money for Supershoes to help another child, so she sold some of her Barbie dolls and a car seat she didn’t need anymore. And that donation has made someone smile for sure, Talia!

Super Sponsor TCS Biosciences

TCS Biosciences are Buckinghamshire based and have been serving the needs of clinical and industrial scientists for over 50 years. TCS supply quality and innovative products helping their customers to excel in the provision of clinical care, medicines, food and drinking water. They give generously to charities every year and Supershoes were delighted to be nominated by one of their employees for a donation which will fund 20 pairs of shoes for Super Children needing a boost at a difficult stage in their treatment, promoting mobility and well-being and as a constant reminder to them of who they are, beyond their illness, challenges and treatment.

Sponsor - Team Georgia

Team Georgia

Team Georgia pledged to give Supershoes to one super child every month in 2016 in memory of Super Georgia. A super brave little girl who was so kind to others despite all the challenges she faced. In August 2022, Georgia would have been 16 years old. Her friends and family set themselves a goal to raise enough money that year for a further 16 pairs of Supershoes. And guess what? They totally smashed it! Not 16, but enough for 47 pairs of Supershoes was raised. An incredible total for an equally incredible little girl.

Sponsor - Team Haribo

Team Haribo

Previous recipient of Supershoes, Super Harrison and his family, were keen to raise money for all the charities and organisations, including Supershoes, who helped them through Harrison’s Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia journey.

Sponsor - Team Rossi

Team Rossi

5 year old Super Rossi received a pair of Supershoes and his amazing Super Mum set up a charity to help other children fighting cancer. The charity helps them to have fun days out and do nice things. Part of that is funding Supershoes like Rossi’s and these.

Sponsor - Teri Walton

The Claydons Womens Institute

After a presentation by our volunteer Anne Bauling, this warm and friendly WI donated to Supershoes. Their secretary said “Cancer in children effects not only the child but carers, family and those around them and something so simple as a pair of shoes being personalised just for them we saw brings so much pleasure to the child, but also to those close who can see and benefit from the smiles and excitement that can be so far and few during gruelling treatment and illness”.

The Coach House

The Coach House pub in Rottingdean is a family-run free house in a small village near Brighton and specialises in good beer and homecooked food with sea views! Being situated in a small village means they are very much a part of the local community and so they decided to raise money for Supershoes because of one very special local lad who is close to them all. From charity raffles to horse racing events, their punters have always been very generous and they certainly didn’t disappoint with this fundraising effort, which has provided Supershoes for 20 children and helped to bring a smile to their faces.

Sponsor - The Corner Gallery

Jackie Khan, owner of The Corner Gallery has kindly donated to Supershoes, and now three more children and young people will benefit from the gift of Supershoes. Thank you, Jackie, for making a difference!

Jake says: “Family and community are very important to us here at The Landscaping Consultants and I believe helping to make children smile and feel special in what is an extremely tough time for them and their families is a truly special thing to be part of, so we are delighted to be able to help make this happen”. Thank you Jake and everyone at The Landscaping Consultants for your generosity and for doing just that!
