We're raising money for a brilliant cause:  Wallace & Gromit's Children's Foundation, which raises money for children's hospitals and hospices across the country. 

In 1997 Aardman, Nick Park and The Bristol Royal Children’s Hospital had the Idea of The Grand Appeal and the Wrong Trousers Day.  Since then it has become a major annual nationwide fund-raising occasion.  Wallace & Gromit have helped to raise over £15 million for children’s hospitals and hospices.

On Friday June 29 Aardman will join thousands of fund-raisers across the country by taking part in the Wrong Trousers Day.   This year we are having a rather special celebration at Gas Ferry Road.  

We're staging an X-Factor style competition in the studio on the 29 where the wrongest of Wrong Trousers will be paraded down the catwalk by every department for the verdict of Aardman’s harshest (!) judges. Everyone who takes part will be paying for the right to look wrong.   

I hope you share in our affection for this charity and will help our department raise money for Wrong Trousers Day.  Every department at Aardman is competing not only for our unique Trousers trophy but to bring in as much financial sponsorship as we can to the day.  

To sponsor our department please do so via this website or send a cheque payable to The Wallace & Gromit Children’s Foundation to me at Aardman Animations, Gas Ferry Road, Bristol, BS1 6UN. 

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support!
