Wicklow to toddle for Barnardos

MORE than 850 toddlers in Wicklow will take part in this year’s annual Big Toddle for Barnardos sponsored by Toddlebox.ie.

This year more than 50,000 toddlers including 854 in Wicklow will walk more than 25,000 miles to raise money for children their own age. Every cent raised by Wicklow’s toddlers will directly support Barnardos’ work with children in its early year’s services who are being lost to homelessness, to poverty and to neglect. You can register for the Big Toddle now at www. barnardos.ie/bigtoddle.

The Big Toddle will run for May and June as toddlers from all over the country take-over crèches, gardens and communities in a bid to raise as much funds for Barnardos as possible.

Barnardos is calling on groups and families to join them by running their own sponsored walk for Ireland’s littlest feet as a way to help children in their own community.

You can register by visiting www.barnardos.ie/ bigtoddle or by phoning 1850 222 300. You will receive a free fun pack that includes everything you need to organise your Big Toddle.
