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 - Benefact Group

Benefact Group

We are so happy to have received a donation from Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards. We wanted to know more about this generous group, and this is what they told us: Benefact Group is a family of award-winning specialist financial services companies and the third largest corporate donor to charity in the UK. Owned by a charity, charitable giving is at the heart of what they do. All their available profits go to good causes and the more the Group grows, the more the Group can give! They donate over £1million to good causes each year through their Movement for Good Awards which aims to help charities change lives for the better. In 2023, Supershoes was one of the lucky winners of a large donation from Benefact Group, from the Children and Young People Special Draw. Winning charities are drawn at random from a pool nominated by the public. We would like to thank the group for helping us make a huge difference to so many Super Brave kids. This is an awesome collection of Supershoes to have sponsored! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! The Movement for Good, is just that!

We heard from Andy Whittard, on behalf of the members of Bicester Lions Club, who were originally attracted to the uniqueness of Supershoes a couple of years ago, and the wonderfully colourful shoes that brighten a young person’s life at a difficult time. They told us they are proud to again support our fantastic charity with funding for seven pairs of shoes. The picture features the well-known Santa’s sleigh, which tours local areas in December, and is the main fundraising activity for Bicester Lions Club. Thank you so much for organising this, and for thinking of us!

They’re reaching for the skies, quite literally, at Blum! An amazing fundraiser by some intrepid employees has resulted in a wonderful donation, and all the pairs of Supershoes you see below have brought smiles to the faces of poorly young people. So what did Team Blum do? They only went and jumped out of an airplane at 14,000 feet! Fourteen brave (some may say crazy) souls did that for us. We’re so proud of you all, as we know most of you have never done this before. Thanks to Laura and Janet for organising the event and for everyone who took part and donated.
