Your help could make a big difference to children’s lives With the help of the nursery staff, parents and of course the Toddlers who take part, the Barnardo’s Big Toddle has become the UK’s biggest charity event for under 5s, helping thousands of disadvantaged children of the same age in local projects across the country. The money raised by the Big Toddle and its supporters, will be used to fund projects for children like Samuel, who has epilepsy and a physical disability. Thanks to the Big Toddle, he has the care and attention he needs and he now attends the Barnardo’s Ravensdale Nursery Education Group, where he has learnt to walk and talk.

Where your money goes Your Toddle money is more important to us now than ever. We can’t keep the event going without your help. Just look at how you can help children across the UK: n £130 Hires a minibus for a group of disabled children to go out for the day n £250 Funds sessions on healthy eating for 60 parents of under 5s n £500 Pays for five support programmes to help parents deal with their children’s behaviour n £1,500 Buys specialist equipment for children with disabilities …So please help us make a real difference to the lives of children and join in the Big Toddle fun.
