THIRTY toddlers will be walking half-a-mile around a course to raise money for a children's charity.

The children, who are all under five-years-old and part of St Bartholomew's Mother and Toddler Group in Westhoughton, will donate the money raised to Barnardos.

Carol Evans, leader of the playgroup, said: "The toddle is about children helping other children. It is fantastic to know that our children can help Barnardo's just by taking part in the toddle.

"It is a great day out and lots of fun. I would encourage everyone to get involved."

The event, which is sponsored by charitable organisation Foresters, will take place at St Bartholomew's Church at 10.30am on Monday and 1.30pm on Tuesday.
