SUPERSHOES
Health, disability and social care
Supershoes is a national charity with a mission to boost the wellbeing of children who are in treatment for cancer.
We provide gifts of customised hand painted shoes to eligible children who are in treatment for cancer, residing in anywhere in the UK. The gifts are individually hand painted for a specific child by volunteer artists who give their time and talent.
Supershoes give a boost to children's wellbeing, encouraging mobility whilst restoring a sense of identity.
