The fundraising centres around the blue and yellow theme - children at Fledglings Nursery in Ramsgate, for example, were sponsored to wear blue and yellow clothes, wigs and face paints. They were featuredin their local paper and raised 722 - enough to buy a specialised tricycle for outdoor play.

The charity also produces a range of resource packs for teachers, packed with ideas about raising awareness about disability.
