THE NSPCC is calling on nurseries in the town to take part in its annual Pedal Push.

Now in its 15th year, Pedal Push is a fun way for pre-school children to raise funds for the NSPCC.

Children at nurseries, creches and playgroups can take part by being sponsored to hop on their bike, trike or scooter and pedal or push their way around a fun course at their nursery, playgroup, playground or even their local park to raise funds for the NSPCC.

Nurseries can also choose to raise funds for their own group or cause by keeping up to 25 per cent of the money raised.

Pedal Push can be held any time between now and September.

Organisers receive a free Pedal Push pack containing sponsor forms, stickers, posters, a group certificate and some activity sheets.

The money raised will help the NSPCC to run services for children, young people and families like ChildLine and the NSPCC Helpline.

NSPCC community fundraising manager, Patrick Weaver said: “Pedal Push is a fun and healthy way for youngsters to make a difference for other children.

“I hope all those children taking part have a ‘wheelie’ good time.”
