We are delighted to have the support from CBeebies star Andy Day, and his band Andy and the Odd Socks. The Andy and the Odd Socks team came up with the idea for Odd Socks Day with us in 2017 and have supported us with it ever since. We are so grateful for their continued support.
Andy and the Odd Socks are one of the most popular bands for young children in the UK. Stars of the wacky comedy drama ‘Andy and the Band’ currently on CBeebies and CBBC, the Odd Socks are always there to help their fans along the way and of course save the day…in their own inimitable way. Fronted by Andy Day, one of the most popular children’s TV personalities, the Odd Socks are all about fun and laughter, but more importantly they deliver a message of individuality, acceptance and tolerance. Which is what being an Odd Sock is all about… because everyone is different and that’s good!
"Hi folks!
We’re thrilled to partner up with the Anti-Bullying Alliance again for Odd Socks Day and Anti-Bullying Week. As proud patrons, we’re excited to promote acceptance, understanding, and respect. This message represents everything our band stands for—celebrating diversity, acceptance, and including everyone. We need your help to spread this message on Odd Socks Day. We’re excited to share our song ‘Choose Respect’ this year, which we hope will inspire kids everywhere to embrace respect. Last year, over 5 million children participated in Odd Socks Day. Let’s beat that record this year! Odd Socks Day is a fun and simple way to raise awareness, and we hope your school will join in. Andy and the Odd Socks are ready to rock out again, and help spread the message of respect far and wide. So lets put on our odd socks and choose respect together on Tuesday 12th November.
Let’s make this year’s Anti-Bullying Week unforgettable!"
