Donal Skehan joins Barnardos to launch this year’s The Big Toddle for Barnardos

The Big Toddle is back!

Barnardos ambassador Donal Skehan was joined by Ireland’s littlest fundraisers to launch the Big Toddle for Barnardos sponsored by Danone - a half-mile sponsored walk for children under five. Since it began nearly half a million toddlers have toddled 250,000 miles to raise vital funds for vulnerable children their own age. Barnardos currently works over 17,600 children and families in 41 centres across Ireland and the funds raised will support Barnardos Early Years services. Whether you’re a crèche, a parent or a childminder you can organise your own Big Toddle anytime in May or June by registering at www.barnardos.ie/bigtoddle - your support ensures that some of the youngest and most vulnerable children Barnardos works with are given the best possible start in life. Nearly half a million children have taken part in the Big Toddle for Barnardos, sponsored by Danone over its lifetime and is now recognised as a first introduction into the world of fundraising for a generation of young people living in Ireland.
