SCHOOL SHOEs.
change everything.

THE SOLE MISSION

 

1.5 million children in the UK are estimated to lack adequate school shoes.

 

Without proper shoes, children can face sanctions from teaching staff, bullying and exclusion from peers contributing to isolation, disengagement and diminished confidence, ultimately reducing their chances of academic success. 

School shoes are not just part of a uniform.

 

They are a foundation for belonging, participation, confidence and engagement.

Every child deserves school shoes they feel proud to wear.

Brand partners, media allies and supporters who share this mission can help reshape how children experience school. 

Flexible support enables us to procure school shoes at subsidised cost and direct them where the need is greatest.

Through a trusted secondary school network, support reaches children discretely and creates real educational impact.
