Biffy was created as a way of promoting our Building Big Futures (BBF) professional development programme.

We wanted our mascot to not only promote our programme but also celebrate the achievements of the local early years services who engage with us.

During the 2023/2024 academic year, we ran 3 cycles of Building Big Futures (BBF) across 6 services with a total number of 99 Early Years Educators participating.

With our Early Years team facilitating on-site visits, we felt it was important to create a sense of familiarity between the Early Years Services and the team here at Preparing For Life. 

To celebrate the introduction of our BBF mascot “Biffy” we launched a “summer challenge” for the Early Years Educators and the children in their care.

This summer challenge was designed to introduce the character “Biffy” and to inspire some creativity this summer.

The “Create your own Biffy Challenge” was launched this July and we were delighted to see so many children be involved in this creative project!
