Introducing BornFree mum MissieLizzie (aka Liz Burton) who is supporting a very worthy cause on her own blog Me And My Shadow.

I am very honoured that BornFree have given me the opportunity to guest post on their new community blog. I would love to share a post with you from my own blog, about a very special event taking place in nurseries and pre-schools around the country next month.

11^th to 15^th October is Humphrey’s National Pyjama Week.

It is an annual event in which nurseries and pre-schools raise money via a voluntary donation of £2 per child for The Children’s Trust, a charity that works with children with multiple disabilities and complex health needs.

Last year over 10,000 children took part, and the aim this year is for 40,000 children to get involved, all wearing their PJs to nursery. This is where we need your help!

I am very proud to have worked with The Children’s Trust, organising a referral scheme and special prize draw.  We are asking parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles to refer a nursery to sign-up for the fun-filled event.  Maybe you have friends who have children attending other pre-schools, or even know of a nursery held in your local church hall or community centre?  You can refer more than one establishment, and enter the draw for each one that registers.

There is a fabulous prize package on offer, including a £100 H&M voucher, a £50 Next voucher, a huge bundle of books and Humphrey’s Corner merchandise, and a fingerprint charm necklace, all donated by the Charity’s wonderful supporters.  Please see their site for more details.

Signing up your nursery is easy. We have asked at our daughter’s nursery and they are very excited about taking part. The nursery will receive a resources pack for the event, including activity booklets and certificates for each child.

Simply download the referral registration form and complete your details at the bottom before taking it into your nursery.  There is also a newsletter/information sheet on the site which explains all about the event and the charity.

So, get onboard, get involved and enter the prize draw!
