The Barnardos Big Toddle is a fun half-mile sponsored walk for crèche and pre-school aged children. This year we’re very proud to be celebrating 19 years of Big Toddle fun and fundraising.
Over the last 19 years, young children from crèches, childcare groups, pre-schools and families right across the country have toddled over 306,784 miles – that’s a lot for little legs! Together these amazing toddlers have raised an incredible €4.2 million in support of Barnardos Early Years services – work that focuses on some of the youngest and most vulnerable children we work with ensuring that they get the best start in life.
We think our Big Toddle toddlers are awesome so this year we’re celebrating them with a very special Big Toddle theme!
We want to shine a spotlight on all the toddling children who take part in communities across Ireland to help raise funds to support other children. They are Barnardos’ youngest fundraisers. They’re our heroes.
Our theme for 2022 is Big Toddle Little Heroes
With so many opportunities for Little Heroes dressing up, creative arts & crafts and lots of fun activities and games, your Big Toddle event is sure to be the best day ever!
