Footscape

Footscape is an Australian Charity that assists disadvantaged persons predisposed to debilitating foot pathology. The organisation is registered with Consumer Affairs Victoria and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission.

Footscape projects include the provision of shoes and socks to homeless and other disadvantaged persons. Painful foot problems affecting such persons are accentuated as individuals are commonly forced to walk long distances upon poor shoes and poor socks. Footscape is collecting new and second-hand shoes (‘Shoe It Forward’ project) and new socks (‘Sock It To ‘Em’ project) for distribution to recipients of care at our affiliate organisations.
