The only thing holding him back from running the school cross-country was not having sneakers.
Thanks to the Nike shoes, Mark was able to lace up & participate in cross-country.

Connection, Safety and Dignity when it matters most

Good360 – Making a Difference
So many children in care or crisis go without basics such as toothbrushes and toothpaste. Some have never owned a toothbrush before.
This donation makes a huge difference in helping provide these children with essential oral hygience products most of us take for granted.
Learning through Lego!
As a teacher, seeing our students engage with LEGO during lessons has been truly inspiring. It provides a hands-on, playful way for children to develop their creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. LEGO turns learning into an adventure, making abstract concepts tangible and fun. We’re grateful for this resource, as it enriches our teaching and helps students build confidence through play.
Small trial, big impact!
“When we handed out the Nike clothing discreetly, you could see the relief on parents’ faces,” said Sarah* from our community team. “One mum told us it was the first time her son had ever owned brand-new branded shoes. Even though this was only a small trial, the impact was huge. Families felt supported, respected, and not alone.”
perfect fit
Crystal* said we are very great full for this donation, many of our families are struggling to afford a pair of shoes for their kids to go to school in at the best of times, so been able to receive these beautiful Nike shoes is just amazing. Many of these families can’t afford xmas presents so some of these shoes will be such a surprise for many older girls who may not have received any presents.
A little bit of LEGO magic
A while back we received a shipment of LEGO sets from Good360, and I wish you could have seen the kids’ faces when we unpacked them.
For many of the families in our community, buying toys—especially something like LEGO—is just not possible right now. So when the children realised these sets were *for them*, the excitement was incredible. Kids who usually hang back were suddenly sitting on the floor together, opening boxes, sorting pieces, and proudly showing off the things they built.
One mum told us, “I’ve never seen my son so focused and happy. He hasn’t put it down since he got it.” Another parent said it was the first brand-new toy their child had ever owned.
The LEGO didn’t just give the kids something fun to do. It gave them confidence, creativity, and a sense of being cared for. It brought families together and brought a lot of joy into homes that really needed it.
A huge thank you to Good360 for making this possible. Your support made a real difference—more than you probably realise—and we’re so grateful.
