Paddington's Party

At lunchtime on Wednesday June 25th 2008, Action Medical Research supporters Bakkavor will host a one-off children's party to celebrate Paddington Bear's 50th Anniversary.

The event will take place, appropriately enough, at Paddington Central in London, which is just behind Paddington Station. Bakkavor has strong links with local schools who they will be inviting down to join the fun, which will include celebrities reading Paddington stories, free lunch boxes from Marks & Spencer and possibly even an appearance from the Bear himself!

There will be a chance to buy Paddington merchandise and Action Medical Research will be collecting donations. All funds raised will go towards the charity's Touching Tiny Lives campaign, which highlights the urgent need for more research to help find answers to premature birth, pre-eclampsia and other serious conditions which threaten babies and expectant mothers.
