Fundraising picnics to support Tommy's, the baby charity!

publication date: Jun 21, 2007
Last year hundreds of nurseries and play groups took up the challenge to host the party to end all children's parties, with tons of fun teddy activities such as teddy bear treasure hunts, face painting and “ginger-ted” biscuit making, all to raise money for the charity, which funds research into the causes of miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth.

Getting involved couldn't be easier, simply register your nursery/toddler group or even your own child, to host an event on any date throughout July, August or September, and Tommy's will send you all the tools you need to make your picnic the best in town, including balloons, stickers, posters, leaflets and fun fundraising ideas to incorporate into your picnic.

In return, Tommy's asks that each child taking part donates £1, in the hope of raising a whopping £40,000 for the charity. 

This year £250 worth of Early Learning Centre Vouchers will be awarded to the host of the party that raises the most sponsorship, plus four runner-up prizes of £100 vouchers - so all the more reason to come up with some exciting fundraising ideas!

Anyone who can't hold a Teddy Bear's Picnic of their own needn’t feel left out, as children and bears can head down to their nearest Early Learning Centre, which will be holding picnics in store on Tuesday 21 August.
