The assistance is needed to buy eight of their residents’ special shoes.

“Residents come to the home as children and grow old here. The home is sustained by generous donations from civilians. We have six children and two adults who require special footwear, splints or boots,” said Nicola Tudor, care manager.

“It is specialised footwear that will give them freedom to use their arms to play or draw or move around other rather than sitting in a wheelchair or lying in a bed.

“To achieve a standing position, the child needs the support of special footwear.”
