The 'Teddy Bear's Picnic' campaign is giving Kenilworth families, nurseries and children's groups the chance to have fun and help raise money for The Myton Hospices this summer.

Anybody wishing to take part will be given an activity pack (including colouring, a teddy bear quiz and pin the nose on Monty the Myton bear), and posters to help advertise and enjoy a fundraising day out in the sun.

The campaign is one of two new fundraising schemes being run for young people and families by The Myton Hospices this summer.

As well as hosting their own picnics, children can also take part in the 'Read for Myton' challenge which will help youngsters turns their enjoyment of books into vital money for the Hospices by completing their very own 'readathon'.

Every entrant will receive a fundraising pack including a sponsor form, a chart to tick off as you read your books, a fun word search and a book review template.

It only costs £2 to sign up to the event, and can be done at any time over the summer.

But, Myton hopes everyone taking part may be able to get their efforts sponsored by friends and family to help boost the fundraising.

Clare Cropp, fundraising manager at The Myton Hospices, said: "After what has been a hugely difficult year for everyone, we hope these two new campaigns will offer a fun way for our hugely important young supporters to raise money for Myton and help us continue to provide our care, free of charge, to people across Coventry and Warwickshire with a life-limiting illness."
