TOTS around the region have toddled their way to providing a cash boost for charity.

Barnardo's arranged sponsored toddles across the North-East to raise money to support vulnerable children.

Thanks to the efforts of youngsters in Darlington, Stockton, Middlesbrough and Durham, £20,000 was raised.

Children toddled for half-a-mile, with a bit of help from their proud parents. More challenges are planned for later in the year.

Anyone who would like details on organising a toddle has been asked to telephone Barnardo's, on 08457-697967.
