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 delighted to encourage young people to recognise and use their power to stop bullying – whether that’s speaking out, offering support, or creating inclusive communities. We need your help to spread this message on Odd Socks Day. We’re excited to share a brand-new song this year, which we hope will remind kids everywhere that we all have the power to make a difference. 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 that whether it’s on stage, at school or online, we can all use our Power for Good to help someone feel included and supported. So, let’s put on our odd socks and use our Power for Good on Monday 10th November.
Let’s make this year’s Anti-Bullying Week unforgettable!"
