In 2003, Wrong Trousers Day became a national event supporting children's healthcare in the UK through Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation.

Since 2003 Wrong Trousers Day has been an outstanding success raising over £1.2 million for children in hospitals and hospices.  

Wrong Trousers Day has helped to build two new children’s hospitals and a new children’s hospice, provide state of the art equipment, create landscape garden and family accommodation facilities and fund specialist art, play and music therapy projects.

It is backed by the treble Academy Award-winning plasticine characters Wallace and Gromit, created by Nick Park at Aardman and inspired by their film ‘The Wrong Trousers.’

45 hospitals and hospices in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have benefited from the money raised on Wrong Trousers Day.

To take part, people are invited to pay £1 to swap their normal attire for weird, wacky and wrong clothing!
