BABIES and toddlers can take the plunge for charity with a helping hand from parents in Stourport next week.

Stourport Sports Centre is one of the venues for the nationwide Splashathon challenge, when youngsters can swim a width of the pool to raise money for Tommy's Campaign, the national baby charity.

The aim of the event on Tuesday is to help the campaign understand and prevent miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth through a nationwide programme of research, education and information.

Parents who would like to register their children to take part can call Joe Holding on 01299 822308.
