The Prize

James Purefoy, English actor, producer and director, is the celebrity ambassador for Small Steps Project. He has said, “What Small Steps have achieved in their relatively brief existence is akin to a minor, but very beautiful, miracle. They have turned lives around. They are the embodiment of that lovely phrase ‘Be the change you want to see in the world.' I am proud and humbled to be associated with them.”

James has been a supporter of the charity since we began and donates shoes every year. This year, James has kindly donated a pair of Mezlan black navy chevron slippers, UK size 11, signed on the front of both shoes. Last year, he donated a pair of boots from Hap and Leonard and said, “That belonged to Hap. All the way to you from Atlanta. xx James Purefoy.”

"The shoes are worn by my character, Laurens Bancroft, in the show I've just done for Netflix called Altered Carbon. It's a vast sci-fi epic set 500 years in the future. Bancroft is a 350 year-old trillionaire. No problems at all with feeling 350. The trillionaire part, however, is a different matter..."

The Cause

Small Steps Project is a children’s charity dealing with the most devastating humanitarian consequence of the global waste problem: child waste pickers.

All over the world thousands of children survive by collecting and recycling rubbish on landfill sites. Deprived of an education, they work when they should be at school and put their lives at risk on a daily basis. Work on the dumps is dirty and dangerous. As well as respiratory and skin diseases, cuts and lacerations to their hands and feet are commonplace and risk of infection is extremely high in the toxic environment.

Small Steps Project provides shoes to protect their feet and support to enable them to take small steps off the dump sites, out of poverty and into education.

To date, Small Steps Project has provided shoes and aid to over 20,000 children thanks to the money raised from shoes, all donated and signed by some of the most famous celebrities in the world.
