Barnardo’s, the children’s charity, is urging nurseries and parents to take part in this year’s Big Toddle, which runs from 19 - 25 June 2017 and has the theme of ‘colours’.

Since 1997, the Big Toddle has raised £14.5 million. The event is marking its 20th anniversary this year by teaming up with Teletubbies, which is also celebrating its 20th anniversary.

The antics of Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po have featured in more than 400 episodes of the popular TV programme and entertained children in more than 120 countries.

Lynn Perry, Director for Barnardo’s in the North West said: “A huge thank you to everyone who will be taking part in this year’s Big Toddle.

“The Big Toddle is a great opportunity for little ones to enjoy themselves and help raise vital funds at the same time. Last year the event raised almost £600,000 which is helping to transform the lives of some of the most vulnerable children in this region.

“For this year’s event, Barnardo’s has teamed up with the Teletubbies, some of the most popular characters in children’s TV history. Both will be celebrating milestone 20th anniversaries, so it promises to be a fantastic party.”

The Big Toddle is the UK’s biggest fundraising event for children under the age of five. Hundreds of thousands of children take part every year, covering enough miles to toddle around the world two and a half times.
