I've just reviewed the new Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom app (which the Madhouse Mini-testers loved) and thought you'd also like to know about a collection of exclusive Ben and Holly zip pulls that have been created to raise funds for Jeans for Genes Day, which takes place on 5th October this year.
****************************************************
Celebrity
mum, Elen Rivas joins her friends Ben
and Holly from hit pre-school series, Ben
and Holly’s Little
Kingdom
and children from Peques 1 Nursery in Fulham to kick start a nursery
school campaign for this year’s Jeans for Genes Day. To help raise
money for the charity, exclusive Ben and Holly zip pulls will go on
sale in the UK. Elen will also be judging a
nationwide
competition with participating nurseries to find the best denim dress
and denim trousers designed by pre-schoolers for cartoon characters
Ben and Holly.
The
exclusive zip pulls come in four designs
featuring popular children’s TV characters Ben Elf, Princess Holly,
Nanny Plum and Gaston the Ladybird from Ben
and Holly’s Little
Kingdom
which airs daily on Channel 5’s Milkshake! and Nick Jr. The range
is now on sale at the official online store:
http://www.jeansforgenesday.org/webshop
and will be available from selected UK
retailers. All proceeds generated from the sale of the zip pulls will
go direct to Genetic Disorders UK, the charity that brings you Jeans
for Genes Day.
Jeans
for Genes Day takes place on Friday
5th
October and the
charity’s target for this year is £2.5 million. A beautifully
simple idea, on Jeans for Genes Day people leave their suits and
uniforms at home and wear their jeans to work or school in return for
a donation. Jeans for Genes Day raises money for Genetic Disorders UK
which aims to raise
money to provide vital care and support for individuals and families
with genetic disorders.
In 2012, 23 charities will benefit from the funds raised.

These zip pulls look so cute! I remember years ago when there was a similar Mr. Men range of zip pulls for charity.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my eye out for these when I'm shopping.
What a great idea and cause, we have a case of a genetic disorder in the family, so we know how important this support is. And my son would have also freaked if he had the chance to see the "real" Ben and Holly :)
