Tuppence a Toad

Campaign outcomes

O Over 1,000 people directly involved in our toad talks and events, including a Tucking in the Toads Pyjama Party, a giant toad crossing installed in the centre of Peterborough, An Evening at Toad Hall auction and dinner, a Big Saturday for families at The Manchester Museum, and a toad-themed evening with the Zoological Society of London featuring an exhibition of famous toads including Mr Toad, Frog and Toad and Gabriel from Bagpuss.

O Over
3 million people reached through our promotion and publicity about Toads on Roads and what they can do to help.

O Through engaging with audiences including  families, high profile supporters, artists, gardeners, land owners and students we have
improved opinions about toads - from strange, warty creatures to vulnerable animals that are a valuable part of our natural heritage.

O With your help, we
raised just over £13,500, with £4,600 of that set aside for a funding pot to help Toad Patrollers with materials to get out saving toads every spring.

O The creation of a
Froglife song by lovely carnival band Zamba, downloadable from iTunes or Amazon with donations going to help toads!

O We are also working on a survey of planning departments and
toad protection measures across the UK, plus a review of the data from Toad Patrollers leading to new on-the-ground projects and publications in 2012 to increase protection for toads.

O We have introduced new Froglife
toad merchandising including cards designed through an illustration competition and ‘adopt a toad’ gifts to keep fundraising.

O The creation of
educational materials and resources featuring toad mascots Widdy and Wigbert to help us keep spreading the word about how toads need our help.

O Beautiful
new and improved toad ponds in London and Glasgow to help local populations.

A big thank you to our supporters and everyone who has helped bring in so many tuppences! 

The future of Tuppence a Toad.
