Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation will launch its annual Wrong Trousers Day on 29 June.

Workers in the UK are being asked to pay a pound to swap their normal work attire for unusual legwear, or “just something wrong”.

The national charity aims to raise £1m to improve the quality of life for children in hospitals and hospices throughout the UK.

Nicola Masters, director of Wallace and Gromit’s Children’s Foundation, said: “A million wrong trousers means £1m for sick children in the UK.
