Today, we are excited to announce our new initiative aimed at ensuring that every child has the opportunity to start the school year on the right foot, quite literally!
We are thrilled to launch our ‘How big are my feet ‘ campaign. We are taking another stride in our mission to make a positive impact on the lives of young children and their families in our communities.
Thanks to generous funding from the esteemed Robertson Trust, the project aims to help alleviate the burden of the cost-of-living crisis faced by local families in the Inverness area.
We have partnered with Beggs, a family-run shoe shop with a remarkable 150-year history. Together, we will provide parents with the opportunity to have their children’s feet professionally measured – a significant milestone for many children who may be experiencing this for the first time.
We have joined forces with Merkinch Primary School and Family Centre to distribute vouchers for new shoes to families. This partnership ensures that the project reaches those who need it the most, helping to make a genuine difference in the lives of local children and their parents.
With the help of generous donors like the Robertson Trust, as well as the expertise and dedication of Beggs, this initiative will undoubtedly brighten the lives of countless families during challenging times.
