Big Toddle charity event

Last year’s annual Barnardo’s Big Toddle saw thousands of under-fives take part in short sponsored ‘toddles’ to raise money for vulnerable children supported by the UK’s largest children’s charity. An amazing £198,000 was raised across the UK.

This year marks the 25th year of the Barnardo’s Big Toddle. And we are once again calling for children, their families and nurseries to join in the fun this summer as Big Toddle Week returns with a safari theme from June 20-26.

Parents, carers and nurseries can hold their own Big Toddles to help raise money for Barnardo’s. It could be a community Toddle, one for family and friends or one at your local nursery, primary school or childminding group.

Register now to receive a Toddle Together fundraising pack containing all the necessary information and lots of safari-themed ideas – such as free medals, stickers and sponsorship forms. Please go to https://www.barnardos. org.uk/bigtoddle for more information. On behalf of the children and families we work with I would like to say a huge thank you. Keep toddling!
