**Barnardo’s Big Toddle celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and will be supported
by the Teletubbies, which is also marks 20 years in 2017.**

 

Last year’s event saw nurseries, playgroups and toddlers across the UK raise £588,376
in an animal themed [Big Toddle](http://www.bigtoddle.org.uk), which asked children
to walk half a mile to raise funds. Since 1997, the Big Toddle has raised £14.5 
million.

Nurseries and parents are currently invited to sign up to take part in this year’s
Big Toddle, which runs from 19th – 25th June 2017 with the theme of colours.  The
Big Toddle has also launched a new website for this year.

> this year’s event. Both will be celebrating their 20^(th) anniversary so it promises
> to be a fantastic party.”
