Heel & Toe Ltd
Heel & Toe Ltd, operating as Heel & Toe Children's Charity, is a nonprofit organisation based in the North East of England. Registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1125695), it provides free therapeutic services to children with cerebral palsy and other physical disabilities. Founded in 2008, the charity addresses regional gaps in accessible pediatric therapy services, offering conductive education, hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy[1][2][3].

History and mission
Established after identifying limited local access to children’s therapy services, Heel & Toe operates without government funding, relying on donations, grants, and community fundraising[3]. Its mission centers on improving mobility, independence, and quality of life for children through structured therapy programs.

Fundraising and grants
The charity conducts annual campaigns and events, including charity balls and athletic challenges. In 2025, it launched a £60,000 capital appeal for a hydrotherapy pool[1]. Notable grants include £17,036 from the National Lottery Community Fund[1] and a £5,000 donation from the MGL Group to fund therapy services and equipment[5].

Ambassadors
Heel & Toe enlists ambassadors to promote its work, including Andrew Scott of Stanley Travel, who has raised over £10,000 through cycling events and marathons[3], and Anne Wood, a former teacher and production company founder[3]. These advocates highlight the charity’s impact on regional families and drive community engagement.
