Hundreds of people stepped out in bright red shoes and T-shirts at Meadowhall as families, friends and supporters came together for the 2026 Red Shoe Walk, raising vital funds for dementia care across Sheffield.

The family-friendly 2km walk saw participants of all ages take part in the fundraising event organised by Meadowhall and Sheffield Hospitals Charity, with walkers setting off from the Summer Beach Club after a morning of entertainment and warm-up activities.

More than just a walk, the event aimed to raise awareness of the impact dementia has on individuals and families while supporting projects that improve hospital spaces, specialist training for NHS staff and carers, and initiatives that help people with dementia live independently for longer.

The accessible route around the shopping centre encouraged the community to walk in honour of loved ones and reflect on their own special memories.

The Star joined in the walk on Sunday to see what it was all about - and managed to capture some amazing pictures of families and groups coming together to do something brilliant.
