SIR – I’d like to say a huge thank you to all the Bradford and Bingley toddlers who took part in the Barnardo’s Big Toddle in 2011, and raised a wonderful £2,483 to help children in local communities.

Barnardo’s Big Toddle is a short sponsored walk for under-fives which saw more than 300,000 children toddling across the country last year.

The money raised in Yorkshire and Humberside will help Barnardo’s support local children and their families who are affected by poverty, abuse and disability.

I’d like to encourage all readers to join the fun and help us turn more lives around by joining in this year’s Barnardo’s Big Toddle, with its exciting superhero theme!

You can register for an organised event held by Barnardo’s or encourage your local pre-school, playgroup or nursery to organise a Toddle – or even host their own with family, friends, any time, any place!

To register, or find out more, call 0845 2709900 or visit bigtoddle.co.uk.

Thank you for making a real difference to children’s lives.

Pauline Clark, Barnardo’s Toddle Team
