1. 2. 3.
Everyone can take part – young children, teens, classes or whole schools! Children can work individually or as an entire class, choosing a sponsored challenge during, what we call, the Big Active Month in either May or June. Whether it’s a skipathon, jumping jackathon, danceathon, a million steps or a marathon in a month – you decide! After signing up, you will receive a Big Active pack with all you need to get started, including individual journals for participating students to track their progress. So spread the word and encourage your local school or your child’s class to sign up today.
At Aldi, we love being an active part of our local communities. So we’re big supporters of the Barnardos Big Active! As part of our commitment to raise €1 million for Barnardos, all funds raised from the initiative will make a direct impact to the lives of thousands of vulnerable children through Barnardos Early Years and Family Support Services. Sign up today to Do Good and Feel Good with Barnardos Big Active, supported by Aldi .
