Every £150.00 received allows us to reach one child living with the rare condition of Xeroderma Pigmentosum with our Little Ted patient pack, and in return we will send our BRAND NEW Little Ted goes to school... educational pack to your nominated school; delivering key messages on inclusion, rare disease and sun safety for all.

Together we can educate and protect!

What our project partners say

"A great resource to help generate awareness of a rare skin condition which has a huge impact on a sufferers life. This helps to dispel some of the myths and negative connotations associated with skin conditions such as XP, which will ultimately led to child sufferers being able to enjoy a happier childhood and better experience at school." 
“Affinity’s mission statement under its Welcoming Diversity Training is “It is time for adults to teach children and young people that in diversity, there is beauty and there is strength.”

As a socially responsible company, Affinity Fostering were keen to create an association with the right type of charity. One whose work and values are reflected in the above mission, and ‘leader led’ with commitment.  This led to rallying the cause of the ‘Little Ted goes to School’ Campaign.  It’s strongly believed that this innovative, educational campaign will enable very young children to begin to understand the concepts of difference and reduce prejudice and discrimination.”
"Widgit Software are delighted to provide their symbols for such a valuable charity and are excited about helping to share the important message of the Teddington Trust. Widgit symbols aid understanding and communication for people who find reading text difficult. The symbols add visual support to the printed word, giving easier access to information and separating it from the challenge of reading." 
“We are delighted to be working with the Little Ted Goes to School programme. At The Suncare Shop we are passionate about educating the public in staying safe in the sun and it is our mission that children learn good sun care habits early on, preventing skin damage in their early years.”
100% of all profit from pack sales are reinvested into the programme and the charitable projects and work of Teddington Trust
