LAST year’s Barnardo’s annual Big Toddle fundraiser saw thousands of under-fives take part in short, sponsored ‘toddles’ to raise money for the UK’s largest children’s charity, which supports more than 300,000 children, young people, parents and carers across the UK.
We are now once again calling for children, families and nurseries to join in the fun this summer as Big Toddle Week returns with an animal theme from June 24 until June 30.
Parents, carers and nurseries can hold their very own Big Toddles to help raise money for Barnardo’s - this could involve a community Big Toddle, one for families and friends or one organised by nurseries or primary schools.
We are really grateful for everyone taking part as the money raised helps our vital services continue to support hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children, young people, parents and carers.
Those who register by May 20 will receive a Big Toddle pack containing information and fundraising ideas. To register to hold your own Big Toddle or for further information, visit www.bigtoddle.org.uk or call 0800 008 7005.
