## The Barnardo’s Big Toddle is back for 2019 after raising an incredible £231,512 last year.

CHILDREN, families and nurseries are being called on to put their best foot forward for Barnardo’s, as the charity announces 2018’s *Big Toddle* raised an incredible £231,512.

Little feet can make a big difference this June as Barnardo’s *Big Toddle* returns to raise money for vulnerable children.

Last year’s Barnardo’s annual *Big Toddle* fundraiser saw thousands of under-fives take part in short, sponsored “toddles” to raise money for the UK’s largest children’s charity, which supports more than 301,000 children, young people, parents and carers across the UK.

The charity is now once again calling for children, families and nurseries to join in the fun this summer as *Big Toddle Week* returns with an animal theme from June 24 – 30.

With lots of opportunities for creative dressing up and exclusive animal-themed early years learning resources available to those who register, this year’s *Big Toddles* are sure to be roar-some!

Parents, carers and nurseries are encouraged to hold their very own *Big Toddles* to help raise money for Barnardo’s; this could involve a community *Big Toddle*, one for families and friends or one organised by nurseries or primary schools.

The charity’s public *Big Toddle* at Dudley Zoo also returns on June 11, where families can really embrace the animal-theme and enjoy a toddle around the zoo.
