CHILDREN put their best feet forward as they "toddled" around York Minster for charity.

The children, aged between three and 15, were taking part in the sponsored walk around the cathedral for the Kids 4 Kids group.

The group encourages children to get involved in raising money for other children.

Kaye Butcher, who represents Kids 4 Kids, said the older children were entirely responsible for getting their own sponsorship together for the Minster Toddle.

Kaye said: "We do various things throughout the year to raise money and also encourage children to understand what the charities are about."

The money raised by the children will be divided between all the children's charities supported by Kids 4 Kids, which include the NSPCC and the Rainbow Trust.
