PARENTS in York are being invited to sign up for a fundraising event which allows children under five to play their part in helping charity.

The Barnardo’s Big Toddle 2013 will have a fairytale fancy dress theme for a short sponsored walk which saw almost 500,000 youngsters register last year. York children who took part raised £1,800 for the children’s charity.

Those registering receive a Big Toddle pack containing information and fundraising ideas, with more information at bigtoddle.co.uk or by phoning 0800 008 7005.
