I feel like I have been involved with the charity all my life as my grandparents supported them. I even took part in a sponsored walk for the charity when I was only five,” she explains.Taking part in Wellies to Work is simple, people pay £2 to wear their wellies to work on 18 September – that’s it.

For those who want to add more fun and daring into their Wellies to Work day, how about organising a welly wanging contest to see who can throw their wellies the furthest? A three-legged welly race or even challenging colleagues to fill their wellies with the most disgusting substance and wear them. From organising a welly fashion show or even a ‘decorate your welly competition’, there are many ways in which you can organise additional activities to make ‘Wellies to Work’ a success and raise as much money as possible for Action Medical Research. Those who raise more than £75 will be entered into a prize draw to win Davina McCall’s exclusive signed Big Brother wellies.

Paddington Bear, Action Medical Research’s mascot, is known for his shiny red boots and is the inspiration behind Wellies to Work. Action Medical Research has made tremendous medical breakthroughs in the past sixty years, and this has been funded purely by our fundraising activities. We receive no funding from the government, so take up the challenge and wear your wellies to work.”
