Paice Gets It ‘Wrong’ For Children’s Care

South East Cambridgeshire MP Jim Paice this week joined forces with Oscar winning animated stars Wallace and Gromit to help promote Wrong Trousers Day (WTD) 2007. 

Jim posed with the life-sized characters (see attached photo) to help encourage as many people as possible to get involved with this year’s Wrong Trousers Day on Friday 29th June and in doing so raise money to improve the quality of life for children in hospitals and hospices all around the UK.

Jim is calling on his constituents to take part in the event by visiting www.wrongtrousersday.org and registering for a free Wrong Trousers Day fundraising pack. 

He said: “Members of Parliament aren’t really known for admitting we’re wrong but on this occasion I’m more than happy to wholeheartedly support being wrong on Wrong Trousers Day. 

“I am delighted to get behind this campaign to raise money for some of Britain’s most poorly children who are undergoing traumatic treatment in hospitals and hospices throughout the UK.

“I have seen first-hand on visits to EACH in Milton what incredible care and support is provided by children’s hospices and I hope as many people as possible will join the campaign.” 

Nicola Masters, director of Wallace and Gromit's Children's Foundation, said: 

“A million wrong trousers means £1 million for sick children in the UK. Team up today and get your kit on this Wrong Trousers Day on 29 June, and help us reach the magic million for the kids who need it most. 

“Register online today and your £1 will contribute to a better tomorrow for the children we support.”
