Ways to get involved
There are many wonderful ways you can fundraise for One Wee Toddle. Here are a few ideas:
- Organise a sponsored Teddy Toddle at home or at nursery to encourage friends to take their stuffies out on a wee walk.
- Host a Tea Party Toddle or bake sale for family and friends (teddies optional!).
- Whatever you choose to do, your fundraising will support children just like Téo.
Meet Téo, a very special boy born with
Down Syndrome
Down syndrome, also known as Down's syndrome, is a type of disability. People with Down syndrome may find it hard to learn new things and may need support. They may have more problems with their health too.
. Lisa, Téo’s mother started going to Mencap Tots when Téo was only a few months old. It was a place full of songs, colourful toys, and warm, understanding faces. Quickly, both the babies and the mums formed bonds.
Our family services are a vital lifeline for so many to ensure they receive the early support and resources they need. They are currently funded by donations from supporters like you, which is why we are thrilled to launch One Wee Toddle this year and invite you to get toddling to support families just like Téo’s!
