Toddlers triumph (From York Press)

Toddlers triumph

11:40am Thursday 31st January 2013 in Letters By Reader's letter

ON BEHALF of Barnardo’s, I’d like to thank all the toddlers across York who took part in one of our Big Toddle events in 2012.

Together they raised £1,886 to help fund our vital work with under-fives and their families. 

Nurseries, playgroups and parents all got involved in organising events and helping little ones to dress up as superheroes.

This just goes to show the generosity and enthusiasm of people in York for helping other families. 

I’m sure those taking part had great fun too. Children love dressing up and if they thought our 2012 ‘superhero’ theme was fun, I am sure our theme for 2013 – fairytales and nursery rhymes – will be a great success.

If you’re interested in taking part in this year’s Big Toddle, you can find everything you need by visiting bigtoddle.co.uk or phoning 0800 008 7005. 

Steve Oversby, Director, Barnardo’s Yorkshire.
