Step Two

Get Fundraising

This is why we’re all doing all this 

Although it’s free to take part in Little Laps when you sign up, you’re committing to hit a small fundraising target for Kids' Village.

That might sound scary but we’re reasonable people. So, we're only asking you to raise... *drum roll*

Your fundraising target:

£25 PER CHILD
£40 PER FAMILY

We get you'll probaby have to ask the same folks sponsorship if you've got more than one child.

So, if you have one child doing Little Laps, we'd like you to raise £25 and if you have 2 or more, we'd like you to raise £40.

Will you sponsor me?

Old School Fundraising

Do you remember we used to visit our nans and grandads, our aunties and uncles, our friends and neighbours, with our sponsorship forms and ask for donations?

Well, we’ve missed that human connection. So Little Laps has got an old-school sponsorship form for you.

It helps you tell people what you’re doing, and track how much you’ve raised for Kids’ Village.

⬇ Download the sponsorship form

Can you donate?

New School Fundraising

OK, but we do know it’s 2026 and the internet is actually a thing.

So, the sponsorship form includes a QR code to make collecting donations a little bit easier.

We can't wait to see you 

Step Three

Do Your Little Laps

On the day, Stowe Pool will be alive with lion cubs of all shapes and sizes, dressed in their finest fancy dress and roaring to go.

You can do up to 4 laps of Stowe Pool ~ that's a smigden under 5km. Run it, walk it, hop it, skip it, jump it – however you fancy.

Run it, walk it, hop it, skip it, jump it

4 Little Laps

Each child gets their very own lap card – collect a stamp at the end of every lap, and watch it fill up!

At the finish line, theres a medal waiting for every child however many laps they choose to do 🏅

Ooh, fancy dress!

Mane Character Energy

Fancy dress isn't compulsory – but if there was ever a day to bring your mane character energy, this is probably it.

The wilder the better. Lions might lead our pride, but every jungle needs its tigers, monkeys and elephants too.

We know a lion cub in a superhero cape runs a little faster. One in a tutu skips with considerably more joy.

And a lion cub dressed as a banana? Well. That is simply one of the finest things we'll ever see at Stowe Pool.

What a splendid time

It's All Fun & Games

Our Chief Mischief Maker's been busy, ready for the big day 🤡

Exactly what they've been cooking up, we couldn't possibly say – but there are surprises around every corner, and we suggest you keep your eyes open.

What we can tell you is this. There will be noise & colour, a fabulous face painter, live music to keep everyone's feet moving, and entertainment that – well, you'll just have to come and see.

For the grown-ups, there's tea and coffee, because even the most enthusiastic supporters needs refuelling. And for everyone else – there's an ice cream van. Which, if you ask us, is the finest possible reason to come to anything.
