Get a wiggle on for Action for Children!

The Giant Wiggle sponsored walk for nurseries, children’s centres, childminders and families will be held on 19 March.

Money raised from the Action for Children event supports the charity’s work with vulnerable children and families.

Last year 30,000 under-fives took part in more than 750 wiggles across the UK and raised £80,000 for the charity.

The event is inspired by and supported by the best-selling children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Launching the 2015 event in Covent Garden, television presenter Laura Hamilton, from A Place in the Sun and Beat My Build, said, ‘The Giant Wiggle is a fantastic opportunity for youngsters to get involved with a charity that helps other children, having fun with their friends at the same time.’

Last year’s best fundraisers were Busy Bees, whose south-east England nurseries collected more than £33,000 for the charity.
