The Challenge, which runs during the week of 2 February 2004 and is supported by Tesco Baby and Toddler Club, invites young children to learn songs, nursery rhymes and stories that their families and friends will sponsor them to perform. The funds raised contribute to the charity's programme of high-quality integrated therapy and education, delivered via its UK-wide network of early years centres.
