The Grand Appeal have been the official charity for the Bristol Children’s Hospital since 1995, using Nick Park’s beloved animated characters Wallace & Gromit as their figureheads.

What is Wrong Trousers Day?

Inspired by the classic animated film, The Grand Appeal launched their first ever Wrong Trousers Day in 1997. This year they are celebrating the 25th anniversary of Wrong Trousers Day on Friday 1st July, and they want as many people as possible to get involved.

It works like a simple dress down day you might have had in the office or at school, but instead you get to wear the weirdest, wackiest trousers you can find, and then everyone puts some money in the pot for the privilege.

How can I get involved in Wrong Trousers Day 2022?

A lot of schools in the Bristol area are getting involved by holding their own Wrong Trousers Day, but you could even just get involved yourself by wearing your silliest pair of trousers for the day and getting people to donate to The Grand Appeal.

On the website there are lots of downloadable resources like fundraising packs, colouring sheets, and posters.There are even some images you can download to share on your social media. If you do share a picture of your own Wrong Trousers, then make sure to use the hashtag #WrongTrousersDay so that The Grand Appeal can see that you are joining in the fun.

You don’t even have to take part on the 1st July if that date doesn’t work for you, just sign up on the website and enter your chosen date, and they’ll make sure to send you a certificate when you have completed your fundraising. There is even an easy link to set up your own JustGiving fundraising page!
