The Big 'Toddle' Fundraising Walk

Even little family members can help Barnardo's

The Big Toddle fundraising walk for under-fives is back for 2015 and this year the theme is Pirates.

Fundraisers who organised walks in Chiswick netted a bumper £1,924.50 through 12 events between July and December last year, helping Barnardo’s support the UK’s most disadvantaged children.

Now the charity is calling on local nurseries, parents and child minders to repeat that success by joining this summer’s Big Toddle, which will see thousands of children and adults dressing up as pirates and walking the suggested half a mile with friends and family between 1 and 12 June.

Since The Big Toddle began, families have helped Barnardo’s raise over £13.83 million, and across the UK 5,800 groups raised £680,000 last year alone. More than £66,000 was raised within Greater London last year.

This year, Barnardo’s aims to collect a treasure trove of money for those children who are most in need.
