The Dahlicious Dress Up Day

Friday 30 September 2011

On Friday 30th September, children up and down the country will pay £1 to dress up as Oompa-Loompas, Friendly Giants, Giant Peaches and all kinds of whizzpopping characters and best of all it will help to raise money for Roald Dahl specialist nurses, care and equipment for children.

Fundraising events like The Dahlicious Dress Up Day helps make a huge difference to the lives of seriously ill children and gives their parents much needed respite. Roald Dahl is famous for his stories and rhymes that still spark children’s imaginations today. Much less well known, however, is how often he went out of his way to help seriously ill children. Today, Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity continues that fantastic work, by helping seriously ill children with neurological and blood disorders – causes very dear to Roald Dahl’s heart. These conditions are often lifelong and, although not always life-threatening, need constant support.
