Kitty Ussher MP this week joined forces with Oscar winning animated stars Wallace and Gromit to help promote Wrong Trousers Day (WTD) 2007. Kitty posed with the life-sized characters to help raise awareness of this year’s Wrong Trousers Day on Friday 29th June.
Inspired by the animated antics of Wallace and Gromit, Wrong Trousers Day will be held in aid of children's hospitals and hospices and this year has a sports theme - Get your Kit on. Up and down the country participants are wearing the wrong trousers and paying a pound to raise money for the Wallace and Gromit Children’s Foundation.
Wallace and Gromit’s Children’s Foundation hope to reach their target of 1 million participants who will be ‘Getting their kit on’ to raise money and help improve the quality of life for children in hospitals and hospices all around the UK.
To find out more, visit the website www.wrongtrousersday.org where you also have the opportunity to vote for who should receive the dubious honour of the Wrongest Wrong Trousers in the UK!
Kitty said:
“Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation raises hundreds of thousands of pounds to provide activities for some of Britain’s most poorly children who are undergoing traumatic treatment in hospitals and hospices throughout the UK. It’s a great cause and wrong trousers day is a great opportunity to have some fun and raise money at the same time.”
“I hope people in Burnley will forgive some odd fashion sightings on the 29th if lots of people get involved!”
Nicola Masters, director of Wallace and Gromit's Children's Foundation, said:
“A million wrong trousers means £1 million for sick children in the UK. Team up today and get your kit on this Wrong Trousers Day on 29 June, and help us reach the magic million for the kids who need it most.
