As a child, I remember taking part in various fundraising activities for Children In Need. It was always so much fun doing an activity to raise money to help others and it was lovely that my whole school would get involved. This year, Children In Need are challenging us to get involved in a very special activity. While your kids are off school next week, why not get them to #JumpForPudsey with Boots UK?
The campaign is based on a simple, but fabulous and most importantly FUN idea! Jump for Pudsey want to get the whole nation jumping, leaping, hopping its way to one million jumps. Half term is now ‘Jump Week’!
It really couldn’t be easier to get involved in this campaign, all you have to do is JUMP! As part of their mission to improve the health of nation, Boots UK are asking everyone to join in with ‘Jump day’ on 26th October. As usual the money raised will be helping to support disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.
Next week, Boots UK want everyone to jump wherever they can and they will add up all the completed jumps in the Jump Totaliser. Anyone can join in, your toddler, older kids, even your granny. Everyone can do their bit to help this campaign, it can be an entire family event.
British Gymnastics have created a series of Pudsey Jumps exclusively for the campaign and we have been trying them out. This is perfect for Ava as she LOVES to jump, so we have been out having a practice. Here’s her best one! (The Pudsey Jumps can be found on boots.com and in the Jump Journal – available free from most Boots UK stores.)
It’s so easy to get involved, all you have to do is start jumping. Then go to the Boot’s online Jump totaliser to add your jumps and donate. You might also fancy attending one of the fabulous in store events that Boots are holding on 26th October. Share your jumps on social media using the hashtag #JumpforPudsey and you can make a donation of £3 by texting JUMP to 70313 or simply donate here.
