A CHARITY that helps children in Reading and Wokingham is asking people to go down to the woods and enjoy a big surprise. Well, kind of.
Dingley’s Promise has declared May to be teddy bear’s picnic month.
Those taking part hold their own outdoor meal, with their cuddly friends. Everyone signing up for a fundraising pack will receive a special Dingley Bear to be special guest at the picnic, along with ideas for their event.
It hopes schools, workplaces and families will all take part.
Its Wokingham team took part in the Wokingham Walk on Sunday, walking five miles in the spring sunshine.
And this weekend, the Reading team will take part in the Forbury Fiesta, where attractions include a raffle to win a champagne afternoon tea at Cliveden House. Tickets can be bought via its website.
Dingley’s Promise supports under fives with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and donations from the picnic will allow it to further its work.
