Barnardo’s would like to say a big thank you to all the under fives in Oxfordshire who took part in the Barnardo’s Big Toddle 2009. These tremendous toddlers, along with half a million others from across the UK, took part in a sponsored walk and helped to raise £10,185 for Barnardo’s local work with young children.

Barnardo’s helps a variety of children, including those with physical and learning disabilities.

Barnardo’s would love to see more of your readers registering to Toddle in 2010. Registrants can join in the Barnardo’s organised event being held on Thursday, June 17, at the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens, Burford, or they can host their own.

For details, go to bigtoddle.co.uk or call 0845 270 9900.
