As the 2013 主播大秀 Children in Need Appeal creeps ever closer, we鈥檙e beginning to see some outstanding events throughout the country from keen fundraisers eager to get started and do their bit for 主播大秀 Children in Need. As we鈥檝e come to expect, this week鈥檚 tour of the South West uncovered some very eclectic fundraising activity, and we鈥檝e chosen a few who really stood out.
Sheep, celebrity and Fundraising Superstar: Bobby takes a break from his busy schedule
Perhaps the most unexpected character we came across was Bobby, a rare Greyface Dartmoor sheep from Somerset. Although Bobby lives a busy life on his farm, he鈥檚 also managed to find time to become the star of a series of books! Written by Bobby鈥檚 owner Enid Barnfield, the Bobby Our Sheep series of books recount some of Bobby鈥檚 many adventures since he arrived on the farm. The books are sold in aid of 主播大秀 Children in Need and look set to be a big hit with younger audiences. It鈥檚 good to see a simple sheep really get into the fundraising spirit!
Spirit Explorers are joining Pudsey for a spooky evening in November
And talking of spirits, we鈥檝e caught work of a Berkshire group embarking on a very special paranormal investigation. Spirit Explorers is a popular ghost-hunting group who visit haunted hot spots all over the UK looking for a glimpse of something ghostly, and on Friday 15 November they鈥檒l be visiting the infamous Hellfire Caves in High Wycombe for Pudsey鈥檚 Paranormal Pursuit -all profits from the event will be donated to 主播大秀 Children in Need. As well as ghost hunting and some spooky challenges (a lone vigil in the Inner Temple 200 feet below ground!) there will also be a raffle and a chance to meet and swap stories with other enthusiasts. If you鈥檙e over 18 and have a taste for terror you can book on to the event via .
Finally, we want to say a huge thank you to Simon Walker and his team of fundraising superstars from the Air Division at QinetiQ in Salisbury. Simon and the team have raised a huge 拢3648 through a variety of events such as cake sales, barbecues, auctions, Friday ice cream runs and more.
