HUNDREDS of youngsters toddled down to Blackpool Zoo last week -- and it was all to raise cash for charity.

Around 1,400 tots walked with the animals in a bid to raise money for Barnado's in the Forrester's Big Toddle.

Fundraiser, Nancy Hart, said: "The toddle is a great day out for both little and big people and it's a great way of raising money for a brilliant cause.

"Hundreds of toddlers responded to the 'call of the wild' last year, but the response to this year's event has been phenomenal and means we can raise a record amount of money for disadvantaged children and families."
