Hi all,
As you know I now work for Aardman Animations, and next Friday (29th) is 'Wrong Trousers Day', an event where we, and the general public at large, raise money for children's hospitals and hospices across the UK.
If you would like to donate to this cause then please do so here. Any amount is appreciated! and if you're in full-time employment don't forget to tick the 'gift aid' part too.

As it directly benefits children in the UK I obviously appreciate that this only really applies to people in the UK (or very generous & kind-hearted people everywhere!), but I wanted to post it here anyway.
You can read about the appeal here:

Press releasey thing ...
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 UK.
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 across the UK.
On Friday June 29th 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 29th 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.
