Last year's event raised more than £250,000 for Barnardo's, with events taking place across the UK

Toddlers and their parents helped to raise an incredible sum for charity,

The Big Toddle 2017 was held last summer and raised an incredible £265,350 for Barnardo’s.

It saw under-fives and their guardians across the UK put their best foot forward and go on a sponsored toddle.

The charity is again calling for nurseries, schools and families to put their best foot forward and take part in this year’s Big Toddle week from 18 to 24 June. For the second consecutive year the Big Toddle will be run in partnership with the much-loved CBeebies TV show, Teletubbies.

This year’s theme is “nature”, with lots of opportunities for creative dressing up as animals, insects, flowers or even jungle creatures.

Barnardo’s chief executive Javed Khan said: “The Big Toddle is a great opportunity for the under-fives to have fun with their friends and families and raise money to help disadvantaged children.”
