The Big Slipper Swap - Get yourself a new pair of slippers!
Bring your old, worn-out slippers and swap them for a brand-new pair for free!* Proper slippers can play a significant role in preventing falls, while old ones can lead to serious injuries, resulting in hospitalisation and a loss of independence and confidence. The new slippers feature secure fastenings and sturdy soles.
*Please note: You MUST bring your old slippers to swap them for a new pair. This operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and one pair per person. Men’s and women’s styles available, while stocks last and subject to size availability.
We look forward to you joining us!
Free Entry: Simply turn up on the day!
