TODDLING children put their best foot forward to raise cash for the Meningitis Trust.

More than 40 pupils from St John's Primary School reception class and St John's Nursery in Weymouth took part in the sponsored Toddle Waddle around the playground.

The children made hats to wear on the walk and were given balloons and stickers.

So far they have raised about £150 for the charity and given out information to help parents recognise the symptoms of the disease.

Nursery manager Rachel Dearmen-Baker said: "Unfortunately, the weather wasn't too great but the children managed to get round the playground three or four times.

"Meningitis is something parents worry about with children of this age, so we were raising awareness as well."
