A FUN-FILLED afternoon was enjoyed by Beechwood tiny tots as they teamed up for the 'Big Toddle' in aid of children's charity Barnardo's.

Enthusiastic children joined their mums for a leisurely half-mile walk around the Runcorn housing estate and raised £247.

"It was a fun afternoon for all toddlers and parents involved," said mum Vickie Wilks.

A refreshing ice lolly and certificate was presented to all the children.

Taking part were Sarah Richards and her daughter, Emily, aged two, Suzette Challenor and her daughter, Leah, aged two, Suzanne Edwards and her eight-month-old son, Harry, Vicki Wilks and her daughter, 22-month-old Daisy, Lynne Yates and her son, Isaac, aged two, Vicky Thomson and her children, Megan, aged four, and Charlie, aged two, and Kerry Bignall and her son, 20-month-old Jonathan.

The group meets every Monday afternoon in Beechwood School.
