Now that our Appeal Night is almost two weeks past, we鈥檙e indulging in a lovely bit of nostalgia and reminiscing聽on聽the聽highlights of our聽2013 Appeal. It goes without saying, of course, that our favourite part of all our Appeals is seeing all the wonderful things our amazing fundraisers get up to, and that鈥檚 certainly been truer than ever this year.
First up, a very excited Pudsey Bear has asked if we can say a big hello to four very special little fundraisers who gallantly took to the streets of Shenfield to sell their expertly baked wares in the name of 主播大秀 Children in Need.
With a little help from their parents, Ruby, Max, Toby and Jocelyn cheerfully took their Pudsey-inspired cakes to the hungry (and very generous) residents of their neighbourhood, and they proved to be a big hit! Much like those metaphorical hot cakes we've all heard so much about, these Pudsey cakes flew off the shelves too, raising 拢108.50!
Ruby, Max, Toby and Jocelyn take to the streets with some very tempting cakes!
The whole team at Bassetts Honda Swansea got involved in some top-quality fundraising this year. How could we not give a shout-out to this team when they have such epic fancy dress (the cowboy is our particular favourite). They even held their own 鈥榃here鈥檚 Wally?鈥� competition, featuring their very own Wally 鈥� the eagle-eyed among you will have already spotted聽him in the picture below! There were also games and snacks on the day,聽bringing a whopping 拢3794.38 for disadvantaged children and yound people all over the UK. 尝别补苍苍别听from the team聽got in touch to say what a great time the whole team had fundraising, and it sounds like she鈥檚 already thinking about how next year could be even bigger! A very heroic聽team indeed!

Staff and pupils at Meadow View Primary School in Rotherham had a brilliant Pudsey-themed day on 15 November, raising money a variety of ways including a bake sale and a groovy disco, as well as weaving a little bit of Pudsey magic聽into the curriculum as well, bringing the yellow聽Bear into the classroom to not only educate but also to entertain. Also, very impressively, the whole school put their pennies together to fill in this giant penny Pudsey on the floor! Overall the school raised 拢450.00 - an amazing effort, so a huge well done to all involved at Meadow View!
Staff at Meadow View Primary School must have found a lot of pennies behind their sofas!
That's聽a crazy amount of stuff going on for a good cause, we鈥檙e sure you鈥檒l agree - and there's more! The awesome students at York Student Television (YSTV), York University鈥檚 very own campus TV channel, put together a great 主播大秀 Children in Need-themed broadcast featuring all the characteristics of the charity鈥檚 annual Appeal show and giving them a distinct York University twist. Two students, Grace and Matt, presented the show which featured live music, onesie mayhem, broken eggs and funny sketches! You can check out the show , and of course, a huge thank you to all at YSTV for going to such a huge effort to raise money!
