CHILDREN, families and nurseries across Bradford have been urged to put on their wellies and join a Peppa Pig-inspired fundraiser.

Peppa Pig’s Muddy Puddle Walk for Save the Children will be held between May 11 and 17 and since it was created in 2017 the event has seen more than 500,000 children from across the UK take part, raising an £622,000 for Save the Children. Young ones can take inspiration from the popular cartoon character by organising their own Muddle Puddle Walk.

Ways to raise cash could include helping walkers get sponsored for their walk, ask for a donation to take part or even bake Muddy Puddle cupcakes to sell on the day. If a walk raises £150 or more for Save the Children, you could receive one of hundreds of Peppa prizes.

Gemma Sherrington, executive director of fundraising and marketing at Save the Children, said: “We hope everyone will get outside this Spring, come rain or shine, and help raise much needed funds for Save the Children.

“It’s so easy to take part and it’s the perfect excuse to explore the outdoors with your little ones.

“By jumping in muddy puddles like Peppa Pig and raising money for Save the Children you can help give children a brighter future.”

Sign up at MuddyPuddleWalk.org for a free Muddy Puddle Walk Fundraising Pack full of fun Peppa Pig inspired activities to help you get started – with tips for great walks indoors and out, fundraising ideas, fun activities to get your walkers ready for the big day and at the end of the walk, there’s a free Peppa Pig sticker reward for every child.

The fundraising pack will also explain what life is like for children in different countries, helping them see how they are making a difference through supporting Save the Children.
