Supporting Supershoes: A Legacy of Love

This magnificent event is proudly organised by Lorna's Legacy, a heartfelt initiative established to continue the charitable work of the beloved Lorna. All proceeds from the performance will directly benefit Lorna's cherished charity, Supershoes.

Supershoes is a small, impactful charity dedicated to bringing joy and empowerment to children undergoing cancer treatment. They achieve this by providing unique, hand-customised Converse trainers, painted with designs tailored to each child's individual personality and passions. These "Supershoes" offer a much-needed boost of confidence and a sense of individuality during challenging times.

The event wouldn't be possible without the generous sponsorship of local businesses who share Lorna's Legacy's vision. A huge thank you to Savvi Travel, Otters, Hitchen’s Barn, Late Night Pharmacy, Ellique, Liberty PR, Perspextive & Oakham Swing Dance for their invaluable support.

Bringing Joy and Empowerment to Children Fighting Cancer in the UK

Imagine being a child, bravely facing the immense challenge of cancer treatment. Days can be filled with hospital visits, difficult procedures, and moments of fear and discomfort. In these trying times, a little bit of magic can make a world of difference. This is where Supershoes steps in.

Supershoes is a remarkable UK-based charity dedicated to empowering children and young people battling cancer. They do this by providing unique, hand-painted canvas shoes, lovingly customised by volunteer "Super Artists" to reflect each child's individual personality, hobbies, and dreams. From favourite superheroes and animals to sports teams and beloved TV characters, every pair of Supershoes is as unique as the child who wears them.

These aren't just shoes; they are a powerful symbol of identity, strength, and joy. For children whose lives are often defined by their illness, Supershoes serve as a vibrant reminder of who they are beyond their diagnosis. They encourage mobility, inspire smiles, and boost confidence, giving children a much-needed sense of control and a "superpower" feeling as they navigate their challenging journey.

The impact of Supershoes is profound. Parents report how these personalised gifts encourage their children to get up and move, even when feeling poorly. They provide a vital boost to wellbeing and a positive focus amidst difficult treatments. Each pair is a testament to the child's resilience and a beacon of hope for their families.

Supershoes is a volunteer-led organisation, with dedicated artists and administrative staff generously giving their time and talent. However, the cost of the shoes themselves, the paints, and the postage adds up. Each pair of Supershoes costs approximately £100 to create and deliver.

How You Can Help

Supershoes relies entirely on donations to continue their incredible work. Every contribution, no matter how small, directly helps to bring a smile and a sense of empowerment to a child fighting cancer.

Your donation could help fund:

A new pair of blank canvas shoes, ready to be transformed.

The special paints and materials needed for a unique design.

The postage to send these precious gifts to children across the UK.

Please consider making a donation today and help Supershoes continue to make a truly super difference in the lives of these brave young individuals. You can donate quickly and securely via their website, or explore options for regular giving or corporate sponsorship.
