Happy Shoesday 2027
Save the date: 16 March 2027
Step into Spring
We’re inviting schools nationwide to join our feel‑good fundraising day celebrating walking, wellbeing and creativity.
How it works
- Pupils wear shoes that make them happy – sparkly, comfy, sporty or wonderfully weird – and donate what they can.
- School keeps 50% of the money raised and the other 50% goes to Living Streets, helping our vital work to making streets safer, healthier and more walkable for all.
Sign up now and get ready for the fun!
The theme: Step into spring
This year we're celebrating the arrival of spring by encouraging school pupils to get outdoors and take positive steps towards healthier journeys.
Schools can use the theme to inspire assemblies, activities, walking challenges and fundraising throughout the week.
Fundraise easily with SuperKind
We're delighted to be working with SuperKind, the award-winning school fundraising platform.
Setting up your fundraising page takes just a few minutes. Families can donate what they can in support of their child wearing fun, silly, colourful, happy shoes.
