Welcome to Barnardos Big Toddle 2024

The Barnardos Big Toddle is a fun half-mile sponsored walk for crèche and pre-school aged children. This year we are very proud to be celebrating 21 years of Big Toddle fun and fundraising.

Over the last 21 years, young children from crèches, childcare groups, pre-schools and families right across the country have raised an incredible €4.69 million in support of Barnardos Early Years services – work that focuses on some of the youngest and most vulnerable children we work with ensuring that they get the best start in life.

The children who take part in Big Toddle each year are pretty special. We celebrate them and what they do with a very special Big Toddle theme we call Big Toddle Little Heroes. We want to shine a spotlight on all the toddling children who take part in communities across Ireland to help raise funds to support other children. They are Barnardos’ youngest fundraisers.

They’re our heroes.

Crèche and pre-school registration for Barnardos Big Toddle 2024 is now open!
