Start-Rite Shoes partners with the UK’s leading children’s charity, the NSPCC, to celebrate its 230 years in business.
The ‘Protecting Their Future, One Step At A Time’ campaign is a dedicated year-long programme of fundraising activities, kicking off with a donation of shoes to children currently supported by the NSPCC.
CEO of Start-Rite Shoes, Hugo Adams, said: “Children’s healthy development and wellbeing is what drives our business forward, so partnering with a charity so closely aligned to our mission seemed a fitting celebration of our 230 years in business. The NSPCC believes that everyone in society has a responsibility to keep children safe. Combining our shared heritage and knowledge, we are working to protect more children’s futures, one step at a time and for generations to come.”
Senior Corporate Partnerships Manager at the NSPCC, Lloyd Butcher said: “We believe that together we can stop child abuse and neglect, and partnering with organisations who share our values, such as Start-Rite, is vital in achieving our mission. We are delighted to partner with Start-Rite in their 230th year and believe our exciting programme of activities will help us raise much-needed funds and awareness so we can continue to be here for the children and young people who need us.”
