 Happy Shoesday 2026

Happy Shoesday is back on Tuesday 19 May 2026!

As part of Walk to School Week, we’re inviting schools across the country to take part in a feel-good fundraising day that celebrates walking, wellbeing and creativity. Pupils simply wear any shoes that make them feel happy – bright, bold, sparkly, comfy, sporty, or wonderfully weird – and donate what they can.

Every school keeps 50% of the money raised, and the other 50% goes to Living Streets, helping us continue our vital work to make streets safer, healthier and more walkable for all.

WHY TAKE PART? 

Happy Shoesday is an opportunity to boost school spirit, bring some simple fun, and celebrate individuality whilst raising funds for a brilliant cause. 

  • There are complicated plan or hours of preparation
  • Register your school, start spreading the word and let Shoesday do the talking
  • By participating in our fundraiser your school will help normalise walking and wheeling to school and encourage healthier habits that could last a lifetime

JOIN THE FUN

We look forward to your school joining us for this joyful day during Walk to School Week. Together, we can help more children enjoy safer, healthier and happier journeys.

Sign your school up today and join a national celebration of fun, movement and creativity on 19 May 2026.
