Splashing fun for charity
Turtle Tots, which holds swimming classes for babies in St Annes and Thornton, were busy splashing for cash last month to raise vital funds for Global’s Make Some Noise.
Hundreds of youngsters took part in swimming lessons based on children’s television programme Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom to raise more than £1,300.

The top 10 fund-raisers were given Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom goody bags courtesy of Entertainment One (eOne).
The top Turtle Tot fundraiser from Turtle Tots Fylde and Preston was nine-month-old Mathilda Benischke.

“The commitment is reflected in the sum we collectively raised.”
Emma Bradley, director of Global Goodness, said: “We’re really proud of our partnership with Turtle Tots and very grateful to all those who supported Splash Some Noise.
“We hope every Turtle Tot enjoyed a very splashy time for Global’s Make Some Noise, the money raised will help us continue our support of families living with illness, disability or lack of opportunity.”
