PRE-SCHOOL children took part in a sponsored pedal push to raise money for Childline, the UK's free 24-hour helpline for children and young people.

Caterpillars pre-school in Tidworth took part in the Pedal Push 2003 by riding bikes, trikes and pedal cars.

Children chose how many laps they wanted to complete and were sponsored by family and friends to do so.

Mrs Tracy Howe from the Caterpillars pre-school said: "We believe in learning through play, and there is nothing better than having fun and helping others at the same time."

More than 4,000 children call childline each year but lack of funds means that only 1,800 of their calls get answered.
